Canary Islands Overview

The sun-splashed Canary Islands are situated much closer to Africa—71 miles from the coast—than to the Iberian Peninsula, 620 miles away. Declared a province of Spain in 1871, the seven major islands and six islets of the archipelago function as an autonomous region with ties to Spain.
