Off the saharan coast, near the Tropic of Cancer, the Canary Islands present
an extraordinary volcanic and contrast in landscapes. The archipelago has
seven islands which are divided into two provinces : one is Las Palmas with
three eastern islands and the other one is Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with
four occidental islands. The archipelago, anchorage at the time of the great
discoveries, is a convergence centre of the winds and streams which had
been propitious to Christopher Columbus’ three caravels. On the other
side, the Canarians also left for the New World and founded the city of
Montevideo (Uruguay), gave the ethnic element of the cuban « guajiro
», made Caracas (Venezuela) the third canarian city and settled down
in Louisiana. The Gran Canaria is the most crowded of the archipelago and
is called « the small continent ». Las Palmas is proud of its
very active port where many vessels anchor flying flags of different countries.
Its oldest, “Vegueta”, reminds us of Columbus’s passage
as he stayed there before leaving for the New World. Santa Cruz de Tenerife
is the biggest of the islands, situated between Gran Canaria and La Gomera,
about 300 km from african continent and approx. 1500 km from the iberian
peninsula. This volcanic island has a triangular shape with the highest
summit in Spain, the Teide is 3 700 m. Santa Cruz rises like an amphitheatre
from the ocean’s coast. The most eastern island is Lanzarote which
has a very particular atmosphere with its volcanoes. Arrecife, the commercial
and administrative centre of the island of Lanzarote, has kept all its enchantment
with its palm-trees, wonderful beach and two tiny forts 1000 km from Lisbon,
in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is the island of Madeira, « the
island of wood ». Called this way because of its extraordinary vegetation,
it captivates people by its emerald couloured mountains and its exotic plants
and flowers. Drink Madeira’s wines (which can stand up well to transport
by ship) : take some Sercial and the Verdelho for cocktail time, Bual and
the Malvoisie celebrated by Shakespeare, for dessert. In Funchal, its capital,
visit the orchid-house of the Quinta das Cruzes, the Botanical Gardens,
those of the Parrots and the Mercado dos Lavradores.
