Canary Islands Real Estate Agents Interealty
Canary Islands Real Estate Agents Interealty and Canary Islands Property is part of an archipelago located 1120 km south of Spain and just 112 km west of Morocco and with the Azores, Cape Verde and Madeira they form what is known as Macronesia. The Canary Islands comprise seven islands spanning over 400 km from La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera (the smallest of the group) in the east to Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote in the west.
Along with six islets the Canaries covers a total area of 7,447 sq. metres. From the long sandy beaches of Fuerteventura and dunes of Lanzarote to the majestic Atlantic cliffs of Tenerife and misty forests of La Gomera, the islands contain just about every kind of landscape imaginable. The highest mountain in all of Spain is the Teide peak, which dominates the landscape of a Canary Islands Property. Formed by huge volcanic forces an estimated 30 million years ago, the Canary Islands' history is shrouded in mystery.
Even the origin of their collective name is still in debate: some say they are named after the Latin canere - to sing, in reference to canaries, (native to the islands), others claim the root is canus - dog, (the islands used to be home to large dogs apparently), or perhaps the Canarii tribe of Morocco gave the islands their name. Who knows? It is a debate which will surely continue. However, one element which remains constant throughout all history and legends, is that the islands were thought to be a Garden of Eden or Elysium. This idea has remained and today the Islands continue to attract visitors from all over the world.
