| The Canary Islands are a
Spanish archipelago which, in turn, forms one of the Spanish Autonomous
Communities and an Outermost Region of the European Union. The archipelago
is located just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa, 100 km west
of the disputed border between Morocco and the Western Sahara. The sea
currents which depart from Canary's coasts used to lead ships away to America.
The islands highest to lowest are: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria,
Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, Alegranza, La Graciosa and Montaña
Clara.
Tenerife is its most populous island
with approximately one million inhabitants; the island of Gran Canaria
is the second most-populous. It also enjoys sub-tropical climate
with longer hot days in summer and cool in winter.
The status of capital city is shared
by the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,
which in turn are the capitals of the provinces of Santa Cruz de Tenerife
and Las Palmas. The third largest city of the Canary Islands is San
Cristóbal de La Laguna (City World Heritage Site) on the island
of Tenerife. |

you anything and everything", but surely you want to know more?
Where is Lanzarote?

of the Canary Islands and is a mere 13 miles wide and 40 miles long, so
you can travel to each and every part of the island and spend the whole
day not having to worry about lengthy journeys to and from excursions and
one of the most appealing aspects is the climate as it offers warm temperatures
and scarce rains all year around, turning it into a great place for those
who wish to spend time at the beach and enjoy as many outdoor activities
as possible... read more |

| Tenerife,
a Spanish island, is the largest of the seven Canary Islands in the Atlantic
Ocean off the coast of Africa. Tenerife has an area of 2034.38 square kilometers,
and 899,833 inhabitants. It is the most populated island of the Canary
Islands and Spain. About 42% of the population of the Canary Islands housing
on this island, this is almost half the total population of the archipelago.
About five million tourists visit Tenerife each year, which is also one
of the busiest Spain resorts and the first of Canary Islands. Tenerife
also has one of the world's largest carnivals, and the Carnival of Santa
Cruz de Tenerife now aspires to become a World Heritage Site. The island
hosts in its capital the architectural symbol of the Canary Islands, the
modern Auditorio de Tenerife which is also one of the main buildings of
Spanish architecture. Tenerife is the only Spanish island that has two
airports and two ports (the others have only one port and one airport each),
which makes Tenerife the most interconnected in Spain.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the capital
of the island and the seat of the island council (cabildo insular). The
city is capital of the autonomous community of Canary Islands (shared with
Las Palmas), sharing governmental institutions such as Presidency and ministries.
Between the 1833 territorial division of Spain and 1927 Santa Cruz de Tenerife
was the sole capital of the Canary Islands, until in 1927 a decree ordered
that the capital of the Canary Islands be shared, as it remains as at present.
The island is home to the University
of San Fernando de La Laguna, which was founded in 1792. The University
of La Laguna is the oldest university in the Canaries. San Cristóbal
de La Laguna (World Heritage Site) is the second city of the island and
the third one of the archipelago. The city of La Laguna was also capital
of the Canary Islands until Santa Cruz replaced it in 1833.
Tenerife also has the highest elevation
of Spain, a World Heritage Site that is the third largest volcano in the
world from its base, El Teide. |
