CANARY ISLANDS - general info
by Maria_75
Noone knows exactly how the islands were formed, allthough many agree they were formed after volcanic eruptions, and they are estimated to be 30 million years old. Today the islands belongs to Spain, and are located approximately 100km off the coast of North Africa.
The legend say that the islands were formed when the mythical continent of Atlantis sank into the ocean. And romans referred to them as the Fortunate Isles, a name many still use today, because of the favourable winds and stable climate conditions.

This is Puerto Rico's bus station. You can find The Tourist Office nearby in case you need to get information of this part of the island. All buses depart and arrive here. It's a good point of reference.

Teide is one of the most famous mountains in Spain. It is, also, the highest one. It is situated in Tenerife Island, in the middle of an unique volcanic landscape.
This mountain is an important identity sign in this island.
Best weather all year round.

It´s so nice to feel the smooth warm breeze when back home you were freezing under the coat. If you snorkle already, I´m sure you never forget the set. If not, the Canary Islands are a fabulous spot to give it a go. Mind you, the ocean is not a calm pool but you don´t need to go a mile inwards to appreciate the beauty & peace of submarine world.
