The village is in the north of the Ceno valley.
Situated in a hollow of the rolling hills on the right bank of one of the tributaries to the River Stirone, the history of the town is closely tied to that of the fortified Castle, built on the top of a hill in the 12th C.
Pellegrino Parmense is famous for its traditional bread.
Near the town by a nice walk of about half an hour is the beautiful Sanctuary of Careno. Among the Romanesque churches of the Parma area, it amazes for its beauty. Amongst the hills of Pellegrino, this visit combines culture and nature.
Continuing through the green hills at about 10-15 km you can instead visit the renowned spa resorts of Tabiano Bagni and Salsomaggiore Terme, known for the splendid Terme Berzieri, built in Liberty style.
