Volcanic vineyards

La Geria, Lanzarote. This vineyards are cultivated on volcanic sands, manually shaped to form hollows in the ground ("gerias"), delimited by dry walls in the direction of the wind. This cultivation facilitates the dew water to be collected by the plants, and protect them against the hard wind of Lanzarote, also creating a spectacular man-made landscape.
