Declared a protected zone, La Geria encompasses the
municipalities of Tinajo, Yaiza, Tías, San Bartolomé and Teguise.
This spectacular agricultural area is noted for the peculiar way of cultivating
grapevines: first the land is cleared, fertile soil is laid, covered with picón
(lava gravel) then stone walls are built around the vines to protect
them from the strong winds.
