The Canary Islands
Forged by fire and sculpted by winds and waves, the Canary Islands offer landscapes of colossal force and almost unreal beauty. A legacy of lava and ash stamps the whole of the archipelago with a unique character. Nevertheless, the islands have become a refuge to legendary marine giants, countless invertebrate fauna species, and an abundance of resilient plants, many of which you won't find anywhere else on earth.
