Why Valizas?
Valizas has several supermarkets during the high season (December to March) which are opened on Sundays as well. The local baker bakes delicious, fresh sweet and savory breads and pastries. There are Internet cafes, a library, a medical center and a small tourist information center with a small but very interesting museum with fossils and information about the history of Valizas.
Despite these basic supplies are amply present and you can benefit from plenty of sun, sea, beach and the most beautiful tourist sites, the mass tourism is clearly not present yet.
