Located on the southern slope of “La Sierra del Oreganal”, at the north of “El Valle del Genal”. With a population of about 300 inhabitants it has a natural environment wich 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 all this it is an ideal place for nature enthusiasts, with the routes on foot or on bicycle very recommendable.

Historically the Muslim heritage is reflected on the winding layout of its streets.
It is worth visiting the Valdecilla holm oak tree, settled on the east of the town centre and with a diameter of over three metres and a height of twenty metres.

The festivities of Parauta are celebrated during August and are dedicated to “La Virgen del Rosario”, the town´s Patron Saint.

Its gastronomical specialities, are “la olla”, the cold vegetable soup and the tomato soups.
