Aguas Verdes is literally “at the end of the world”. Beyond Llanos de la Conception, a narrow road leads along a dry barranco to a couple of weekend houses and the holiday club on the west coast.There are no restaurants, no shops, no nightlife here.

The church of Santa Ana, built in 1781 and not far from the main road, is easy to overlook, but if you stand in front of it on the sleepy main square surrounding by trees, with the school behind you, the massive black façade above the main entrance to the otherwise entirely white building is impressive.
