SPAIN ISLAS CANARIAS GRAN CANARIA
The Canary Islands, which belong to Spain, are an archipelago of 7 major islands and the 6 smaller ones situated about 115 km from the African coast in the Atlantic Ocean. Gran Canaria is the third largest one with a population of about 800.000 inhabitants. Its landscape is volcanic, rich in contrasts and the weather is subtropical and very pleasant. The capital city of Las Palmas, in the north-eastern part of the island, is visited by many tourists and is bordered by beautiful beaches of golden sand. Our high school is in La Isleta, one of the districts in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. La Isleta is a mini-península separated from the rest of the Island by a narrow inlet, which is bordered on the south by the PORT OF THE LIGHT, one of the most important in Europe due to its geographical position. At present, about 1000 ships dock in the wharves.	LOCATION CANARY ISLANDS GRAN CANARIA LA ISLETA

DID YOU KNOW THAT ...? The original inhabitants of the islands were The Guanches. The Canary Islands were initially dominated by Norman adventurers and Celtic immigrants from Portugal. The Dutchman Pieter Van Der Does captured, sacked and set fire to the city in 1599. Christopher Columbus stopped 3 times here on his voyages to the New World. Spanish conquered the islands in the 15th century. Between 17th and 19th century, many English people settled here, importing wine and cochineal from the canaries, and introducing the cultivation of the tomatoes and potatoes. Almost 96% of the inhabitants are Roman Catholic. The Canary islands have about 2000 different species of plants, out of which about 550 are endemic and about 600 are rare or under threat of extinction The economy is based on tourism, manufacturing and tropical agriculture (banana, tobacco, tomato,…). Canarian time is 1 hour less than that of Spain and the same as that of Britain and Portugal.
