Vila Nova do Corvo is a picturesque village and unusual in they way it unites old and modern in two distinct parts – the old centre and the new quarter, which starts at a roundabout on the road to the airport. The old part is a jumble of narrow pebbled alleys, called canadas, densely lined with traditional houses – many of them uninhabited – boasting black basalt façades with white-edged windows and often a small courtyard where pigs and poultry are kept. Very striking is the almost complete lack of any advertising on shops, café-bars, accommodations or restaurants. The village is known for having only two taxis and one policeman.
