Chóvar has all the necessary establishments and services. There is a bar in the center of town where all the neighbors meet to have a beer, eat or play various board games such as dominoes or cards, among other games. There is a restaurant at the entrance of the town where people from the surrounding area come to taste the succulent dishes and grilled meats offered there, or to attend the festivals that are held every weekend.
Speaking of parties... you can't miss the big week of August parties or the "Domingo la Rosa" party!!
Town hall square where the August festivities and bullfights are celebrated.
Hay una piscina olímpica con cocktail&bar que se convierte cada verano en el punto de encuentro para los numerosos veraneantes y visitantes de otros pueblos y ciudades.
The village has a small commercial establishment that offers all the basic and essential products so that our nomads do not lack anything in their daily lives (butcher shop, greengrocers,...). There is also a pharmacy and a bus transportation line. An idyllic meeting place is the "Las Carboneras" picnic area, in the heart of the cork oak forest.

The residents of the town are very friendly and welcoming people. It is not strange that some of them offer to act as Chóvar guides and show every corner of the town to our guests.
