Are similar y parecido synonyms that are completely interchangeable, or are they used in different contexts, or do they have slightly different meanings? Or anything else?

Some people think their meanings are slightly different, but different people think they are different in different ways.

Similar is little bit more formal than parecido but two words are synonymous. So you must be careful with idioms like 'bien parecido' that's seems good looking. Sorry for my english but I'm spanish.
