Canary Islands

in #landscape6 years ago

The paradisiacal islands of sun and fine sand beaches, which enjoy a spring-like temperature all year round, are an archipelago of 7 islands (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro) and a few islets (Alegranza, Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este, Roque del Oeste and Lobos). Each island is diametrically diverse to the others and its landscapes evoke corners of all regions of the planet.

The best of Tenerife

The Fortunate Islands, the Fields Eliseos, the Garden of the Hespérides .... were the first denominations that are in the Greek and Roman writings on the Canaries. It was an archipelago of volcanic origin inhabited by the Guanches, a very tall race, with light skin, who lived on the cliffs, in caves or in small villages with circular houses. In 1496 they joined the Crown of Castile, after a series of struggles in which the Guanche value and nobility stood out. A few years later, the ships of Columbus would stop at Gran Canaria and La Gomera before leaving for the New World.p7.jpg
