THE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER OF PAREDES IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH FACE OF THE SIERRA NEVADA NATURAL PARK, IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ABRUCENA (ALMERÍA). AT MORE THAN 1,350 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL, THE LANDSCAPE AND THE BIODIVERSITY IS INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED. THIS AREA IS CHARACTERIZED BY OLD TERRACE FARMING PLOTS WHICH WERE REFORESTED WITH PINES, CREATING ONE OF THE MAIN FORESTS IN SOUTHERN EUROPE.
THE BUILDING WAS MADE OF TRADITIONAL STONE (SCHIST AND QUARTZ) AND IS LOCATED ON A MOUNTAIN WITH VIEWS TO THE RIVER NACIMIENTO VALLEY.
Abrucena is a small municipality located to the west of the province of Almería, in the corridor between the Sierra de Baza and Sierra Nevada and which communicates with the marquisate of Zenete, in the province of Granada. It is included in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park, one of the natural paradises of the Community, due to its rich landscape, botany, fauna and anthropology. The town, located at the foot of the mountains, facing the plain, offers the image of the towns of Moorish origin, with narrow and winding streets with whitewashed houses built on terraces, without roofs.
