Guess where this is?

[Brian Ellis]

Tunisia, no!

[Brian Ellis]

OK, clue coming up. It is on an island offshore from Africa. I thought it was easy because I believed this method of viticulture was fairly well-known - maybe I was wrong. Sorry!

[Marshmallowman]

I have seen similar on some greek islands?

[Brian Ellis]

Certainly nowhere near Greece, nor even in the Med

[squire]

Is it Robben Island

[Brian Ellis]

No, wrong side of the equator, even. I thought this thread had died a natural death

[JTD]

Is it the canary islands?

[Brian Ellis]

Which one, and it's yours for the next turn. Clue: it is unique.

[Umfriend]

It's Lanzarote. Dang I did not follow this thread anymore, would have know right away.

[JTD]

Since i didn't get the right island, i think Umfriend should take the next turn

[Brian Ellis]

Yes, Lanzarote has young volcanic dust as top soil and is subject to high winds. The walls are built to shelter a funnel-shaped hole dug in the dust, with the vine planted in the centre, so that moisture is funnelled down to the roots with minimal evaporation.

You'll have to start re-frequenting this thread, Umf, as it's now your turn to post a pic!

[Umfriend]

Probably to easy, but here goes.

[Brian Ellis]

Probably to easy, but here goes.

Not too easy. I guess it's not in the Netherlands, so I'll plump for Central Europe, possibly Austria??????

[GNEP]

Did it feature in the Dambusters movie?

[Umfriend]

Not Austria. Not sure about the movie, but I doubt it.
