Visitors on Lanzarote will be able to explore a variety of landscapes: lava seas and volcanic cones from the different eruption phases, cultivation on the basaltic ash material which takes place all around the island but mainly in the 'Geria' area where hard physical work and aesthetics have combined to create a very special landscape; quiet sandy beaches, overwhelming steep cliffs and valleys resulting from millennia of erosion.
Lanzarote people have traditionally struggled to survive by defeating nature. There is no water below the surface and there is little rainfall; nonetheless the inhabitants have developed special methods of cultivation to profit from the dew brought by the prevailing winds. This dew is retained and provides water for the plants in cultivated areas that are carefully pre-prepared with a layer of black volcanic material.
