Canary Islands (Africa)

The Canary Islands are set off the coast of western Africa, the archipelago consists of 7 islands and 6 islets and is divided into two provinces.

At the east, the first one is called Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with 3 islands - Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and the islets.

At the west is Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro which form the second province named Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The islands belong to Spain and although part of the European Union, avoid various European custom/duty charges.

The Canaries enjoy hot sunny weather all year round, duty free prices and are home to some of the best beaches in Europe.

They call the Canaries "The Land of Eternal Spring".

The sub-tropical climate is regulated by the Gulf Stream and Trade Winds
