La Geria is commonly known for the route of the wines, where many wineries are concentrated in which some of the most reputable wines of the Canary Islands and Spain are produced.

This peculiar landscape was the result of the volcanic eruptions of 1730 to 1736 in Timanfaya, which man managed to protect through excavations in the ground and stone walls.
