Lanzarote I

2009.09.07
Timanfaya National Park

Typical wine yards

A camel ride


Solidified lava


White houses, black earth


Lanzarote, the easternmost island of the Canary Islands, was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993. Lanzarote has volcanic origin. It was born out of fiery eruptions and has solidified lava streams as well as extravagant rock formations.

One of the most beautiful and impressive places is the Timanfaya National Park, the Ruta de los Volcanes.

The vineyards of La Gería (a wine region), with their traditional methods of cultivation, are a protected area. Single vines are planted in pits 4-5m wide and 2-3m deep, with small stone walls around each pit. This agricultural technique is designed to harvest rainfall and overnight dew and to protect the plants from the winds. The vineyards are part of the World Heritage Site.
