Villaverde is just north of La Oliva, on the road between La Oliva and Corralejo (the main British tourist resort in the north of the island). The village is still quite small but new houses are regularly constructed. Despite its size, the village does have plenty of amenities with several restaurants, a supermarket, a local village store, a bakery and a couple of bars. In addition there is a furniture store, a couple of Ferreterias (local DIY stores) and a cafe / take-away selling pizza's. There is also a regular bus between either Corralejo or El Cotillo on the west coast that has some lovely beaches just to the north of it and within walking distance of the bus stop. |

The Bakery About 400 metres down the road and open from early morning until late evening (circa 20:30) every day of the week except on Sunday when it closes at 15:00.

It's a standard Spanish bar, the drinks are cheap and the locals are friendly. You need to speak Spanish though, or at least know the word for beer (cerveza) !  |
