The Happy Islands
Holiday resort of Playa del Ingles
This
paradisiac group of islands, with a preferred climate and constant temperature
through all the year, and splendid beaches of fine sand, consists of 7 larger
islands (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera,
Hierro) and a few smaller ones (Alegranza, Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Roque del
Este, Roque del Oeste und Lobos). Surprisingly, the landscape of each island is
radically different to the others.
Already Greeks and Romans reported on
this archipelago of volcanic origins, and called it the Happy Islands, Garden
of the Hesperides, Atlantida, ... Some historians suppose that the legendary
continent Atlantis was located here. The islands' original population,
called Guanches, is tall and of white skin.
In 1496 the islands became
part of the Spanish kingdom, and the ships of Christopher Columbus stopped here
on their travel to discover the New World
