Lanzarote, day 2

Last day on Lanzarote. After a visit to Arrecife, the island's capital, we spent the rest of the day geologically. Lots of lava flows - spectacular landscapes.

Home of Lanzarote wines

We're staying in Yaiza, home of one of the Lanzarote wines you can see in an earlier post. So, how do you grow grapes on an arid, windswept rock off the coast of Africa? Well, you build a wall to shelter each plant from the wind, and you cover the soil with lava pumice gravel to hold in the moisture.

 It works. The wines are great!

Jameos del Agua, Lanzarote

We caught a ferry to come visit Lanzarote for a couple days. It's slightly less arid, with prettier towns, but definitely outclassed by Fuerteventura in quantity and quality of beaches. Below, a volcanic lava tunnel converted into a little bit of paradise - this was the work of Cesar Manrique, famous Lanzarote artist.
