Things to do in Valverde

  1. A

    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 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.

  4. 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.
