The Enchanted Forest of Parauta
About the place
The Enchanted Forest of Parauta is a creative initiative designed to blend local folklore with the stunning environment of the Sierra de las Nieves. As hikers wander under the canopy of ancient chestnut trees, they encounter hidden sculptures of gnomes, fairies, and wizards. Local artist Diego Guerrero used fallen trunks and branches to bring these legendary characters to life along the easy walking route. The forest undergoes a spectacular transformation in autumn, when the leaves turn copper and gold, enhancing the mystical feel of the site. This destination serves as a perfect example of how environmental art can promote rural tourism while respecting the integrity of the natural landscape.
