Volcan now has 4 excellent quality restaurants. Our supermarkets have increased to 10 and plans are underway for a three story covered shopping mall (be still my heart). There seems to be a building boom underway with new shops, stores and restaurants. However, we still have affordable accommodation for sale and rental.
Volcan has been around since about 1900, Orginally it was a collection place for cattle. In the mid 1930’s immigrants from Europe and the United States discovered its great climate and productive volcanic soil.
