The name is derived from Latin Insula Canaria and means “Island of the Dogs” although there were never any dogs on these islands, but instead the name pays homage to the Monk Seals that inhabited the islands and barked like dogs!

This beautiful cluster of islands are located closer to the equator than Spain and right off the coast of Africa.

It enjoys a sub tropical climate year round. Canarian food is flavorful and has many twists on traditional Spanish foods.

Canarian wrestling is a big sport in this region and is thought to be one of the earliest forms of modern wrestling dating back to the 1400’s.

It is home to the world’s third largest volcano and the endangered Logger Head Turtle!
