I love travelling. The best my memories are from the Canary Islands. The natural beauty of these Islands is memorable. What I love mostly is the scenery, climate, food and wine from local vineyards. Many Islands vines are centuries old - believe it or not, wine has been produced in the Canaries for over 500 years. The Field of Vines Blanket is dedicated to those volcanic Canary Islands with their forests, lava fields, vineyards, friendly towns and winter sunbathing!
