La Geria, Agricultural landscape and wine region in Lanzarote, Spain

The black volcanic soil of La Geria features thousands of semicircular stone walls protecting grape vines from strong winds and harsh conditions.

Following volcanic eruptions in the 1730s, local farmers developed the distinctive cultivation method using conical holes in the volcanic ash to grow vines.

The traditional viticulture practices of La Geria demonstrate the adaptation of agricultural methods to extreme environmental conditions through generations of farmers.

Visitors can explore the wine route connecting multiple wineries, where they can taste Malvasía wines and learn about local production methods.

Each vine grows in an individual crater measuring three meters wide and two meters deep, covered with volcanic gravel that retains moisture.
