Salvem Parcent, Save Parcent

Parcent is a small village in the Valencian region of Spain. Its existence is threatened by plans to build thousands of houses on its hillsides, increasing the population threefold and changing the character of the village forever. This blog aims to tell the world about whats happening to our village and ask people to join us in our fight to protect Parcent.

MOUNTAIN WALK 25th MARCH

'Veins de Parcent' have organised a walk

around the perimeter of the largest of the
three building plans. The walk, leaving the
village 'Cooperativa Bar' at 9.30 on saturday
25th March is intended to show people
the barbaric extent of the proposed
development whilst enjoying a morning
out on the mountain. We will be joined by
local Doctor and renowned botonist Joan Pellicer
who will be explaining the ecology and
plant life of the area. The walk is easy and
will last about three hours and will be both
fun and educational for children. We suggest
you wear sensible clothing, take sun cream
if it's a nice day and water and a snack.
So please come and join us and appreciate in
person the natural beauty of El Carrascal and
why we are all so motivated to save it.


The pictures show 'Veins de Parcent'
members clearing the walk and recovering
the 'Font de les Cabres', or 'Goat's Spring'
from the overgrowth of the past three years
during which time it has been left abandoned.
