Overview and History, The Canary Islands lie off the west coast of Africa and exist as an autonomous community belonging to Spain. 

There are seven major islands in the archipelago, one minor island; the big ones are Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, La Palma, Lanzarote, El Hierro, and La Gomera.

The whole group is the result of volcanic activity from 60 million years ago, which is why many of the beaches have black sand for you to crunch along on. There are no active volcanos at the moment, but you never know. Another way to say it is that these islands are part of the Atlas Mountain range, which can be traced across northern Africa.

At one point in the 16th century, the islands were called “the sugar islands” to produce cane sugar. The economy has since developed wineries, agriculture, and now tourism as principal activities. 

Getting There The Canary Islands have six airports in total. The main international airport is Gran Canaria Airport, the gateway to the islands. It’s 18km south of Las Palmas and has EU, International, and Inter-Island terminals.

Transportation Highway maintenance to the Canary Islands is sorely lacking. Ferry service connects the islands, but you can also take a small plane to hop between them.

On the islands, you can rent a car but be sure to carry your passport and license with you all the time. People ride bikes and take the guagua bus to get around. (It’s pronounced “wa-wa”.) Bus schedules can be infrequent or sporadic. Tenerife and Gran Canaria have impressive public transport systems that cover most of their islands.
