About our Canary Islands news

Latest news on The Canary Islands, a group of seven Spanish islands located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the northwest coast of Africa. They are known for their mild climate, beaches and resorts. The largest island is Tenerife, home to the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The other six islands are Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro.

The Canary Islands were originally inhabited by the native Guanche people. The islands were conquered by the Spanish in the 15th century and have been a part of Spain ever since. Today, the islands are a popular tourist destination, with over 12 million visitors per year.
