Parras de la Fuente () is a city located in the southern part of the Mexican state of Coahuila. At the census of 2010, the population was 45,423. There are a large number of factories that produce denim, including a Dickies factory, and Parras is also a wine-making place. The city serves as the municipal seat of the surrounding municipality of the same name, which has an area of 9,271.7 km2 (3,579.8 sq mi).
In 1846, during the Mexican-American War, Parras was held by U.S. troops. Also, French forces were defeated there in 1866 during the French intervention in Mexico.
One of the main touristic attractions is the Hostal el Farol, the former house of General Raul Madero, and now a beautiful place to stay and eat & Mary's House, situed in the Gral. Cepeda way.
The oldest winery in the Americas is in Parras de la Fuente and was founded by Lorenzo García in the 16th century.
For rest and recreation, Parras has bathing resorts; these bathing places were used to generate electric power for industry usage.
Among its man-made attractions are Santo Madero Church, which is located on an extinct volcano plug just north of the town, and San Ignacio de Loyola Church, which was built in the 17th century.
Parras was given the "Pueblo Mágico" label in 2004.
