These Paradisiacal Islands of sun and beaches of fine, white sand, which enjoy of a springtime temprerature all the year round, are a collection of seven islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro) and a number of smaller islets (Alegranza, Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este, Roque del Oeste and Lobos). The Archipelago has the unique feature that each island is completely different from another, and their landscapes evoke corners of every region on the Planet.

The Fortunate Isles, Champs Elysées, Garden of Hesperydes, Atlantida... were the first descriptions found in Ancient Greek and Roman documents on the Canaries. It was an Archipelago of volcanic origin, inhabited by the Guanches, a very tall race, pale-skinned, which lived in the cliffs and in small communities with round-shaped houses. In 1496 they are added to the Kingdom of Castille, following a number of violent battles in which the bravery and noble character of the Guanches was much praised. It was at that same time when the ships of Christopher Columbus stopped at La Gomera before starting their trip in search of the New World.
