The Canary Islands consist of 7 very beautiful and very different islands, spanning 400 km from La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera (the smallest of the group) in the east to Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote in the west, covering in total 7,447 sq. metres. From the long golden beaches of Fuerteventura and the dunes of Gran Canaria to the stunning Atlantic cliffs of Tenerife and the misty forests of La Gomera, the islands contain just about every kind of landscape imaginable, including the highest mountain in Spain, the Teide peak, which dominates Tenerife's landscape.

The Canary Islands, originally formed by volcanic forces probably 30 million years ago, are covered in mystery. The origin of their Name is still up for debate, some say from the Latin Canere (to sing, with reference to the native canaries), others claim canus (dog, with the islands apparently used to be home to large dogs), or maybe even the Canarii tribe of Morocco. One Myth that has lasted the test of time, is that the Islands were always referred to as a Garden of Eden or Alyssium, still attracting visitors from all over the world.
