Bis zu 1500 Kilometer weit ist es von den Kanaren zum spanischen Festland, während die Nordwestküste Afrikas an der engsten Stelle nur 100 Kilometer entfernt ist.

Etwas weiter westlich überrascht Gran Canaria mit der Provinzhauptstadt Las Palmas mit langen Sandstränden und einem der besten Konzertsäle der Welt. Der höchste Berg Spaniens thront imposant über Teneriffa: der Pico del Teide.
