    • La Geria area is a must when on Lanzarote. Its agricultural landscape is unique in the world and profits the harsh conditions of the island to the utmost. Each Wine plant is surrounded by a small stone fence so that the wind does not evaporate the scarce humidity. The ground is covered by volcanic sand in order to capt the water from the night dew.

    • The Canary Islands are one of Spain's 17 Autonomous Regions. People speak Spanish but their way of talking is closer to the Caribbean than to Spain's mainland. Indeed many people from the Canaries migrated to Venezuela or Cuba decades ago. Today things have change and the islands have become a place that receives a lot of immigrants. The overpopulation is posing actually a real problem, for resources, mainly ground and water, are limited.

    As far as festivals are concerned, the Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and in Las Palmas are famous events that are really worth a visit.
