Location

Near the coast of Africa, only two hours' flight from the Iberian Peninsula and four hours from the rest of Europe, one can find a natural paradise composed of a group of islands, each shockingly different from one another: the Canary Islands, one of the seventeen autonomous communities that make up Spain, to which the Islands have belonged since the 15th century. Aborigines, generically known as the Guanches, populated the Islands. By the end of the XV century, the Catholic Kings completed the conquest of the archipelago, begun by the Normans, Jean de Bethencourt and Gadiger de La Salle, at the beginning of the century. The Canaries are shown as the sum of beaches and snow, of rock and sand, of deserts and forests, of mountains and plains, of different microclimates. That is, an authentic insular continent where all the Islands complement one another, making the group as a whole more fortunate.
