Parauta
Is situated on the southern slope of "La Sierra
del Oreganal", north of "El Valle del
Genal". Its population is of some 250 inhabitants
and its natural environment offers a strong contrast
between the grey hillocks, on which the vegetation
layer is very scarce and the hills full of pine, chestnut,
holm oak and olive trees. For nature enthusiasts,
the routes on foot or on bicycle are very recommendable.
The Muslim heritage is reflected on the winding layout
of its streets. It is worth visiting the Valdecilla
holm oak tree, situated to the east of the town centre
and with a diameter of over three metres and a height
of twenty metres.
The most significant festivities of Parauta are celebrated
during August and are dedicated to "La Virgen
del Rosario", the town´s Patron Saint.
Its gastronomy is similar to that of the surrounding
towns. Amongst its specialities, one can highlight
"la olla", the cold vegetable soup and
the tomato soups. All the natural ingredients come
from the crop fields which lei within its municipal
district.
