Land of Fire
My road took me to a very arid island: Lanzarote. As soon as I arrived it seemed like a lifeless and old land but in reality it is always moving, active, full of colors illuminated by the sun. Every sign of life in nature is incredible: how can it survive without water? The secret is revealed during the night: the mist and dew that are created thanks to the lowered temperature give the precious gift of life. These water droplets, which are created by condensation of atmospheric water vapor, not only support the plants but allow us to obtain a splendid wine, with a different flavor... it is a miracle of nature and life. Each vine of the few vineyards is protected from the wind by the walls that surround them, built with volcanic stones. The contrast between green and black is beautiful and unique, with magnificent volcanoes as a backdrop. The mornings become a spectacle of light and fog. The island is extraordinary in many ways. It is surrounded by the blue of the ocean, which during the winter becomes powerful and crashes with impressive force against the cliffs and rocks. Every corner of Lanzarote hides some surprise, something new and unexpected that leaves you amazed. I felt his energy flow through me, a connection with the earth, an unforgettable sensation.
