The Canary Islands are a place of many wonders. Geographically, they are situated only 90 kilometers away from the northern coast of Africa. Therefore, the first inhabitants who set foot on the archipelago nearly three thousand years ago were of Bereber ancestry. Geopolitically, the islands belong to Spain, after the aboriginal groups were conquered by the kingdom of Castilla in the late fifteenth century. The landscape is incredibly varied, with volcanic cones, calderas, sand dunes, ravines, relic forests and emblematic rock promontories. The underwater seascapes in the small island of El Hierro rank among the best in the world for scuba diving and snorkeling.
