La Geria, a spectacular vine landscape

One of the most genuine images of Lanzarote is La Geria, with its extraordinary vineyards dotted with strong contrasts.  Lanzarote is known as the "impossible vineyard", where vine has been grown for ages in a traditional way. In spite of the dry climate, soil covered by volcanic ashes and the Saharan winds, nothing has stopped the inventiveness of the locals, who have had the knowledge to challenge nature and convert their land in unique landscapes.  Travel to La Geria and discover an astonishing spot known as “artificial craters”, which was created to allow grapevines root under a thick layer of ashes, reaching 2 metres of depth. They dig an inverted cone in the ashes, in order to allow the roots reach the fertile soil. Also the vineyards are protected from the Saharan winds by volcanic rock walls, which can reach a height of 70 cm. The result of this arduous and handmade process: a unique landscape in the world, catalogued as Protected Landscape and an excellent volcanic wine with its own D.O., which you must taste if you travel to Lanzarote. We propose you discover this lands wines and culture in the two wine routes. Start of your journey with your five senses.

Timanfaya's dromedaries

In the southwest of Lanzarote, you will find one of the four National Parks of the Canary Islands.  It is Parque Natural de Timanfaya, Unesco World Heritage site, created to preserve the volcanic landscapes that appeared after the 18th Century’s violent eruptions.  After that episode, the island increased by a third its size. More than two centuries later, in that area you will find lava and ash fields, impossible cold lava formations, artificial geysers, Los Hervideros... 25 craters erected in a nearly apocalyptic landscape, with no vegetation. An infernal appearance, as that of the figure of the devil at the entrance. Don’t miss the restaurant and viewpoint El Diablo, designed by César Manrique, and the renowned echadero de los camellos from where you can go around the Timanfaya riding on a dromedary. A unique souvenir without any doubt.

The story of the Lady of the Volcanoes

During your stay in Lanzarote you will hear about the Lady of the Volcanoes, beloved patron saint of the island.  If you travel to Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, don’t miss the Hermitage of the Virgen de los Dolores, whom the islanders call de los Volcanes. The natives tell a story related to one of the terrible eruptions that occurred in this area, in which lava threatened to engulf the entire town; its inhabitants turned to the Virgin to stop the river of lava; and it stopped. To express their gratitude, they erected the Hermitage in honour of the Virgin in the same place where the miracle occurred. Nowadays, this chapel is visited by natives and foreigners during the Romerías, that are celebrated on the 31st July, which is the date of the extinction of the volcano, and when the Fiesta del Fuego is celebrated.
