El Hierro Taxi Diver
There's no shortage of diving companies offering their services to divers and divers hopefuls, and El Hierro Taxi Diver is one of them. They all offer pretty much the same thing - around €28 to €30 to dive around the Mar de las Calmas, where you can expect to encounter colourful coral, majestic rock formations and a wide variety of marine life. Courses and speciality dives are also available. Opening hours tend to be flexible, according to the weather and the number of dives planned.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción
The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción is a simple three-nave structure built in 1767 and crowned by a bell tower with a railed-off upper level that serves as a lookout. Inside, the polychrome Purísima Concepción is Valverde's most prized piece of artwork.

La Piedra
It doesn't get much more humdrum than Valverde, and during the week everyone heads home early. On weekends, you might find a bit of action if you're lucky - and if you do, you could do worse than end the night at La Piedra, the closet thing Valverde has to a discoteca.

Casa Juan
Delicious, fresh seafood is the main attraction at most restaurants in La Restinga. This friendly place, popular with locals, is no exception, serving up hearty portions of fresh fish, soup, salad, papas (potatoes) and grilled meats. Warmly recommended.

Casa de las Quinteras Centro Etnográfico
Some day the Island Museum will open beside the church, but there's no completion date in sight. For now the town's only museum is the Casa de las Quinteras Centro Etnográfico, where exhibits about rural island life are displayed in a small stone house.

El Refugio
Serving fresh fish and seafood (the restaurant has its own fishing boat), El Refugio is one block up from the waterfront. To get here, follow the sounds of the singing bird, which lives in a cage outside the restaurant.

Calle Dr Quintero
The lure of El Hierro lies in its natural spaces, not here in town. Still, a short stroll (at most, allot a morning here) can be rewarding. Calle Dr Quintero is a pedestrian-friendly street, home to shops and bars.

Brisas de Asabanos
Set above a pharmacy, with picture windows looking down onto the main street, this is Valverde's finest dining experience. Specialities include steak with local cheese, and the fresh catch served in burgundy sauce.

La Taberna de la Villa
Good, simple food (pizzas, pastas and tapas), a friendly atmosphere and extras like free wi-fi have made this the most popular spot in town. It morphs into a pub from midnight until 02:00 at weekends.
