The Canary Islands are an autonomous community and outermost region of Spain located off the northwest coast of Africa. The archipelago includes seven main islands - Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro. Legally, the Canary Islands are recognized as a nationality of Spain, though geographically they are part of the African continent. The capital is shared between Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the largest cities on Gran Canaria and Tenerife islands respectively. Tenerife is the most populous island, with over 865,000 inhabitants.

34. The Canary Islands, also known as the Canaries (Spanish: Canarias), is a Spanish archipelago located
just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa, 100 km west of the border between Morocco and the
Western Sahara. The Canaries are a Spanish autonomous community and an outermost region of the
European Union. The islands include (from largest to smallest): Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria,
Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque
del Este and Roque del Oeste.
The Canary Islands are legally recognized as a nationality of Spain. Geographically it is a part of the
African Continent.
The capital for the Autonomous Community is shared by the cities of Las Palmas and Santa Cruz, which
in turn are the capitals of the provinces of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Province of Las Palmas. Las
Palmas de Gran Canaria has been the largest city in the Canaries since 1768, except for a brief period in
1910. Between the 1833 territorial division of Spain and 1927 Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the sole
capital of the Canary Islands, until 1927 when a decree ordered that the capital of the Canary Islands
be shared, as it remains at present. The third largest city of the Canary Islands is La Laguna (a World
Heritage Site) on Tenerife. Tenerife, with 865,070 inhabitants, is both the Canary Islands' and Spain's
most populous island. Tenerife is also the largest island of the archipelago. The island of Fuerteventura
is the second largest in the archipelago and located 100 km from the African coast.
