THE LANZAROTE AREA

Lanzarote -  Reserve of the Biosphere - is one of the seven islands of the Canary Archipelago, which belongs to the Macaronesia.
 It has an extension of around  700 sqkm and its landscape is basically volcanic.

Caserío de Mozaga is located in the geographical  centre of the island and is closed to the well-known vineyards of La Geria.

In addition to the beautiful beaches that you can find in the island, we suggest to visit and discover other places, among which our preferred ones are the following:

LA GERIA

The vineyards in Lanzarote are unique in the world  due to their special way of farming. Each vineyard is planted in a hole made in the soil which is thereafter covered with lapilli (volcanic ash). Each hole is laterally protected against the winds with a volcanic stone wall.

The  most relevant variety of grape of this is area is Malvasía. Wines obtained from such variety were already  praised  by Shakespeare and Goethe.

CENTROS DE ARTE, CULTURA Y TURISMO

Back in the 60´s, our beloved local artist César  Manrique  promoted  the conservation of our environment with the aim to protect  and enhance our singular landscape.
He developed his work during more than two decades and left us the legacy of the "Centros de Arte, Cultura y Turismo".

We will never be sufficiently thankful with him.
