Tias

The landscape around Tías is dry, volcanic and sparsely vegetated, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. Set on Lanzarote’s southeastern slopes, the town lies above an Atlantic coast that includes Puerto del Carmen, the municipality’s main resort area. Inland, black volcanic ground is central to the island’s wine culture: vines in the La Geria area are planted in deep pits and protected by semicircular stone walls from the trade winds. Tías is also linked with José Saramago, the Portuguese Nobel laureate whose former home here is the Casa José Saramago museum.
