Worldcanic has closed its fourth edition claiming the broad family of volcanic wines and renewing its commitment to the people of the volcano to continue in Lanzarote until 2027, as advanced by the president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote Oswaldo Betancort on the opening day. "Worldcanic will continue with us in 2025, 2026 and 2027," said the president while explaining that "Lanzarote will continue to position itself as the world epicenter on gastronomy, volcanology and sustainability to continue to know the diversity, uniqueness and richness of volcanic cuisines and ecosystems".

Santorini's volcanoes under control
The magnificent Greek island of Santorini is the result of the activity of one of the volcanic arcs in the Mediterranean. Maria Manousaki, a geologist and official at the OASP (Athens, Greece) Earthquake Planning and Protection Organisation, has given us an insight into the island.
Lanzarote has something different
An island where nature and art go hand in hand, a place where its people feel and live the commitment and pride of belonging to it, where the food tastes of the sea and the countryside, an island whose essence leaves its mark. In Lanzarote, the way of life has adapted to the volcanic conditions of the terrain, and has taken advantage of the possibilities that the ash fields have for agriculture. Its vineyards emerge from large craters in the earth and give shape to a characteristic lunar landscape, which together with the volcanoes and the sea, testify to the island's deep commitment to strict environmental development codes.
