The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, situated just off the northwest coast of Africa. The seven main islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, are known for their volcanic origins and distinctive local identities. Though geographically closer to Africa, they are politically part of Spain and operate under EU regulations with special tax and customs arrangements.

  • Mount Teide on Tenerife is the highest peak in Spain and the third-tallest volcano in the world. The surrounding national park is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • La Gomera is home to Silbo Gomero, a whistling language developed to communicate across deep valleys. UNESCO recognises it as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
