Parcent tourist information
Parcent is the first village encountered after descending the Coll de Rates from the direction of Benidorm via Callosa d'En Sarriá. The village is located in a green orchard in which almonds, oranges and vines abound. In the words of Gabriel Miró, who lived in the village and whose house still provides a reminder of his stay, Parcent is a 'Paradise between the Mountains' and it was here that he wrote the book entitled 'Del vivir'. Parcent provides access to the fertile Pop valley and the economy of the village essentially resides in the growing of almonds and oranges. The famous traditional 'riu-raus' where the raisins were dried can still be seen. Today it is more common for the villagers to work on the coast whilst still maintaining their houses in the village.
