Raco Verd sits opposite the white church in the middle of San Jose village, and it turned fifty in May 2026. It is a courtyard garden behind a street front, with a bar, a kitchen, a small stage and a shop next door.
The food runs from Spanish tapas to Mexican home cooking, with breakfast and brunch earlier in the day. The music is the other half of the proposition.
The music
Live gigs in season, usually Thursdays and Saturdays, starting around eight. Flamenco, African music, jazz and whatever else is passing through the island, and entry is free.
The programme is announced on their own channels rather than printed a season ahead, so our team is the quicker way to find out what is on in your week.
What it is like
A shaded courtyard with mismatched tables, strung lights and a lot of plants. It fills on gig nights and the tables are worth reserving even though the music is free.
By day it is a village bar where people read newspapers.
