Key Facts

The Canary Islands, officially known as the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, is an archipelago and one of Spain's 17 autonomous communities. Located in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 100 kilometers west of Morocco at their closest point, these volcanic islands form the southernmost region of Spain and are geographically part of Macaronesia. The archipelago consists of seven main islands—Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro—along with several smaller islets, covering a total land area of approximately 7,493 square kilometers. With a population of around 2.2 million people, the Canary Islands are the most populous special territory of the European Union and serve as a major tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors annually to their year-round mild climate, diverse landscapes ranging from sandy beaches to mountainous terrain, and unique ecosystems. The region is divided into two provinces: Las Palmas, encompassing the eastern islands of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, covering the western islands of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro.
