Canary Islands: Lanzarote
Canary Islands: Lanzarote
Lanzarote is the most volcanic of the Canary Islands. The last eruptions happened in the 19th century and you can see the results in the Timanfaya national park: huge lava fields and scores of volcanic cones. At some spots the soil is still hot. It's a blackened world, with red, orange and yellow notes of develish beauty. Outside the national park Lanzarote has a much milder charm. And because of strict construction laws the island isn't losing it.

'Lanzarote vineyard 2.'
Vineyard Lanzarote-style at La Geria. The soil consists of porous lava stones, that absorb moist out of the night air. The walls surrounding the man-made craters block the trade winds. The plants are hardly visible, because they are cut back since it is early spring. Photo Paul Smit.
