The Lanzarote aqueduct: hiking between history and volcanoes
LANZAROTE AND THE WATER CULTURE
On an island with only about 20 days of rain a year, it is difficult to supply water to a population of more than 150 thousand inhabitants, to which more than 2,000 tourists are added daily. How is it done then? How was it done before?
On this hiking route through Tahiche we discover the most important hydraulic work in Lanzarote: the construction of an aqueduct. Why has it been built? What had to be its function?
While we discovered the culture of water, we also climbed one of the oldest volcanoes in Lanzarote, the Montaña de Ubique, surrounded by lava and crop areas.
