There are places where by mention of its name, your favorite tune plays in your mind. Just like all the old Hawaiian songs that would make your hips sway…or the more recent La Vida Loca of Latin America.
Paterna is no different. Its instant name - recall is its type of song, the “Peteneras”, sung by the maiden who went by that name and in whose honor, a monument stands there today in the town’s square.
Paterna is on the Bull Route in the center of Cádiz Province. It’s flat, with sparse vegetation. It is mainly composed of meadows and plateaus.
“Peteneras” singing competition which is an annual event is anticipated with gusto. Today, tourists flock to Paterna just to witness this event. And indulge in a lot more…
Paterna is known for its asparagus and its snail delicacy. It is also home for raging live bulls that get to fight in arenas all throughout the province of Andalucia. Pretty horses have breeding grounds here, too.
Baskets woven of “esparto,” as well as other handicrafts, are available.
Spring waters of medicinal attributes lure tourists for a dip in its pools. Since the times of the Romans who lived in this town, the therapeutic effects of the water remains a mystery up to now, but it has never failed to generate influx of tourists to this town.
Definitely not just for its song but for countless other reasons.
