EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the picturesque municipality of Icod de los Vinos, located in the northwest part of Tenerife, the largest island in the Canary Islands of Spain. Established in the 15th century, Icod de los Vinos has a rich history and is renowned for its unique volcanic landscapes, vineyards, and the iconic Drago Milenario tree. The name Icod de los Vinos translates to 'Icod of the Wines,' reflecting the region's long-standing wine production tradition. The lush vineyards, which thrive in the volcanic soil, are a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the local people. The Malvasia and Listán Negro grape varieties, grown in this region, have been recognized for their exceptional quality and unique characteristics. Icod de los Vinos is also home to the Drago Milenario, a centuries-old dragon tree, which is a symbol of the town and a popular tourist attraction. This ancient tree, believed to be over 1,000 years old, is a source of local pride and a reminder of the town's rich history and connection to the land. This stunning lantern slide, captured in the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Icod de los Vinos. The intricate details of the landscape, from the winding roads to the vineyards and the Drago Milenario tree, provide a captivating visual journey to this enchanting destination.
