Competa:
The nearby village of Competa (4km) is a very typical Pueblo Blanco (White Village). You can survey the daily comings and goings from the relative tranquillity of one of Competa’s many restaurants and bars. Competa has plenty of amenities, including banks, bars, restaurant, Internet cafes, supermarkets, pharmacies and bakeries. Many artists have settled in the area and a leisurely browse through Competa’s craft shops and art galleries is a rewarding way to pass a few hours. Each Saturday morning there is a market in Competa’s lower square where you can buy anything from underwear to night-vision binoculars. For a small fee visitors can use the pleasant swimming pools, gardens and tennis courts at the Balcon de Competa hotel.
