Discovering a new method of cultivating vines 🇮🇨

La Geria is a 5,255-hectare area located in the geographical center of Lanzarote, a Spanish island in the Atlantic Ocean. It is situated between Yaiza and San Bartolomé, on the edge of the Timanfaya National Park. La Geria is the largest wine-growing region in the Canary Islands and is known for its unique vineyards, which are cultivated in volcanic ash. The volcanic ash is spread over the ground, and then each vine is planted in a funnel-shaped pit that is dug into the ash. The pits are designed to protect the vines from the strong winds that blow across the island. The walls of the pits are made from volcanic stones, which help to retain moisture in the soil. The vines are trained to grow low to the ground, and they are pruned to protect them from the sun and wind. #christmastrip
