The
essence of la Geria,for its wine, water and cultivation.
- There is a well of drinking water in the house, which filters
through volcanic ash from the Gaida mountain and is collected
in a small well. Guests may use this delicious water for drinking,
cooling, ..etc.
- A traditional wine cellar where the guests can taste the
malvasía wine, made by the house owners.
- The cultivated land surrounding the house, which is covered
ash(picón), to stop the moisture from evaporating,
produce vegetables and seasonal fruit.
|
Visual space.- Incredible scenery can be seen from the house,
with views out onto the mountains, sea, Arrecife, Puerto del
Carmen and the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. Being
a sparcely populated village with little illumination the
uninhibited beauty of the sky is there to behold; making the
view at night seem like something taken from a Fairytale.
