Why is it feminine?

Parada is feminine because it is derived from the past participle of the verb "parar" (to stop). In Spanish, past participles ending in "-ado" form masculine nouns, but "parada" functions as a feminine noun meaning "stop" or "stopping place." The feminine gender is maintained through the "-ada" suffix, which typically marks feminine nouns in Spanish, making "parada" the feminine nominal form related to the verb "parar."
