Travel Guide Curaco De Vélez

Another popular destination on this small island. This small town, completely removed from everything, has particularly suffered from the 1960 earthquake. In addition, its church went up in smoke during a fire in 1971. Beautiful houses remain, however, dating back to the golden era of whaling in the 19th century. One can stop there on the way to Achao or on the way back (the colectivos stop there), to eat excellent seafood in one of the restaurants along the beach, for example. To stock up on iodine, opt for example for Ostras Los Troncos, which serves excellent fresh oysters by the unit: they are huge and you will be delighted!
