Hello from Tenerife. OK as far as it goes, but you would need hours to really understand these islands. Indeed raw and beautiful. Canarian species are very different. The culture is rich and a mixture of African, South American, Guanche and Spanish. I love it here.
My grandparents are from the Canary Islands they moved to Cuba where they had my mom. I dont know anything else about them or the Canary Islands this is an excellent informative documentary. Thanks
At 15:58, the rock appears to be a map of the Canary Islands. You can see the peninsula of Fuerteventura at the middle center bottom, almost the exact shape thereof, and 5-6 all islands in a row to the right of it. The smaller figures appear to be boats. It`a a map. It may have been made at a time when the sea level was lower?
Its an old video. Cant you tell. If you were expecting Stormzy to appear and get down with the fauna reel rap style, keep it reel stuff, tuff. It was still interesting to watch. I always like James Mason narrating.
Thanks to those people help keeping those islands clean and less inhabited. I appreciate how the people feed the lizards. I do like the advanced communicative style those people use whistle to commute. I do like the observatory on la Palma! Very pristine in view worth. Let’s keep it that way. How did those camels get there? Thank you for such a balanced video?
There was a people living in the Canary Islands before the Spaniards started colonizing them in the 15th Century.This group was called the Guanches.They were a Caucasian group,and probably related to the Berberbpeople of North Africa,especially since they spoke a Berber dislect.
Some people from the Canary Islands called Islenos(Islanders) settled in SE Louisiana,USA back in 1780,when Louisiana then belonged to Spain.Their settlement came to be called"Saint Bernard Parish",after the then Spanish governor of Louisiana,Senor Bernard O,Reilly.Most of their descendants still live today in that part of SE Louisiana,just SE of New Orleans,and speak a Spanish dialect that's based mostly on 18th Century Canary Island Spanish.
@@derlinclaire1778 Yep. Baton Rouge here. That's my family's history too! My great grandparents spoke only Spanish and french. We had Islanders come looking for what became of their relatives after they came to louisiana. All the old folks got interviewed. I want to go meet those relatives there soon.
Partially true. Guanches did live there, but only on the island of Tenerife. Inhabitants of other islands had their own names (Bimbaches, Benahoaritas, Gomeritas, Majos, etc.).
@@Filipinatejaymaesalva6456 Where in the Philippines? Once upon a time, about 50 years ago, I visited Clark Air Base a couple of times. Went to Jungle Survival School.
Thankyou for letting me go on this trip with you. This is how I travel on my (PC) .I always wonted to travel the world , with people like you ,its possible next time I would like to bring a friend if there is enough room for one more? I enjoyed it very much :-)) I need to go back to Florida USA and cook dinner wish you could come for dinner. Donna.
I'm from Las Islas Canarias. I was born in Güimar, Tenerife in 1970. My mother is from Tenerife, my father from Lanzarote. My parents left the Islands in 1972 and we migrated to Australia to escape from General Franco. I have been back 4 times. In 1982 age 12 years for 3 months, age 18 in 1988 for one year to finish high school, in 1990 - 1994 age 20-24 for four years to work, again in 1994 as I came to Australia for a month holiday, returned to Tenerife, then at the end of the year flew back to Australia. I would never live there again. Even though I am from there, have lived and worked there and my entire relatives are from there, I don't identify with the locals because I've grown up as an Australian under that lifestyle. I had a boyfriend for the 4 years I lived there and in the end he broke up with me because I was far too "modern" for his taste. Canarian men, like all Latin origin men, like to dominate and control their women. Now, I'm no feminist, I am a traditional woman, have been married for 18 years, have a son that I homeschool. So, I'm old fashioned. But "old fashioned" to an Australian raised woman is different to a Canary Island raised woman. They are completely different. I wasn't willing to be dominated like a personal possession and put up with a rude, sexist male attitude in a man. My husband is Australian and I submit to him, but he doesn't dominate me like a Spanish man would. He earns all the family income, he gives me a small allowance to spend on food for the week, he takes care of the bills, but if I need money for anything I need to ask his permission. My husband is more of a feminist than I could want to be myself. He actually wants me to work full-time and bring money into the home. I'm the more old fashioned, traditional one in our relationship!! But, I simply cannot put up with Spanish attitude to life in general. They are not my "people", just my "ancestry". Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely set of Islands to holiday in, but to live amongst hard-headed, pig-headed & backward attitudes in both men and women is not my kind of idea of a good life. I'll stick to Australia- the "lucky country "!
At 3,718 metres, it is Spain's highest peak. The Carnivals of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas are two one the most famous in Spain and encompass everything from flour battles to glamorous street parades. The waves off the Canary Islands are some of the best in the world for surfing and windsurfing.
@Azulay ⴰⵣⵓⵍⴰⵢ where are you from? Porqué estamos hablando en inglés? Mi familia lleva aquí en Canarias desde como mínimo la conquista de los españoles,500 años,me vas a decir tu, si puedo o no puedo vivir aqui o si soy nativo,vaaaaaya huevos amigo.
If you want party go to Tenerife (south) or the eastward islands. Hiking Is better on the westward islands because they are younger and are less eroded. But for families every island is perfectly fine. Enjoy :)
I'm guessing the latter lacks cherry trees, as well. Canaries are overrated and one canary is enough...after that you want a Stellar sea eagle. (Thank you for helping me to bring the comment section to the gutter. LOL. Puns are great.)
Since a couple of months its 8 Islands since La Graciosa is an official Canary Island. Fun fact that most images shown at the start until 4.30 are filmed on Lanzarote, in the National park Timanfaya! Lanzarote has one of the most Iconic Vulcanic landscapes til this day.
Hola rens , que tal , i see you on " need to know lanzarote " hope your safe in this crisis & our island will come out of it more beautiful than ever ..
Love Gran Canaria. So clean. Much prefer las palmas as it seems less commercial than the more popular tourist sites. The beach and mountains are beautiful...and great for shopping. 😍
Gran canaria is amazing. From the little venice of Mogan to the African like dunes of maspalomas. It really is like a mini continent in it's own right.
Il clima di Tenerife, da me visitata nel marzo del 1996, mi aveva però deluso: molto variabile, più nuvoloni che sole, pioggia a tratti; e, al mattino, decisamente freddo!
@@latiffariss7940 Wow Latif! Right on! I wonder how their voices can sound so similar, if they are maybe from a similar part of the world and have the same resultant accent. It's stramge, my suddenly remembering North by Northwest. I like that movie! He was very good in it and real tension when the protag's friend, then enemy, then friend flip flop and how she was doomed and the protag... I think Cary Grant, forgot his character name, had to alert her and only minutes before it was going to be too late! I also really liked the close the protag had running through that cornfield, wow! I loved using Mount Rushmore too as a metaphor and important part of a screenplay I wrote.
The Miocene era began 23 Ma and the oldest island is Fuerteventura (23Ma) though the seamounts are considerably older. So it was over the next 23 million years that all of the islands except La Palma and El Hierro had risen above the surface.
I was just North of them,.. Less than 🤔919 miles, or🌫️🍃 1, 479 kilometers 🌫️ 🌋⛰️🌌🌌🌌🌫️🌫️🌫️🌫️I'm sorry I nvr made it there, I meant to go back..... 🙄❣️💛💛💛💥

I just adore Lanzarote......my second home, and hopefully one day i can retire there, to live out the rest of my life
Same here, goodness knows when I will be allowed to go to my house!
I already do that, but in Maspalomas Gran Canaria, i can really recommend it !
I love it Costa teguise
Wow Spain is so beautiful 😻 love from Somalia 🇸🇴
I will recommend this to my friends and students
This is the beautiful world, such a nice and an informative documentary.
BOOK OF GENESIS .BIBLE .
The music is very annoying.
It drowns out the narrator.
And it is a poor match for the video.
I don't think I can even watch the entire video!
I'm debating whether to go on at this very moment, same reason!

Camels came from Africa, I believe out ancestors bringed them here because it was easier and cheaper than bring horses from somewhere else far away
What a beautiful report of my home. Thank You.
Have you always lived there or did you move there?
I wish i want to travel to canary islands. Thanks for sharing

@@yeshuabinyankee5017 Canarias are Spanish before your country existed
@@TF-km2ls which country ?
@@yeshuabinyankee5017 Any african country. Anyways not many nowadays countries existed in 1496 so I’m probably right

This portrays my birthplace & home as this almost magical place where time came to a halt and I'm just here watching a youtube video
Go back to Spain. Stop colonizing Africa !
And that is why i left Holland and settle in Gran Canaria !
nature is outstanding there but beside it there is soo borring. even spanish peple that moved to continent confirm that
Good luck, I hope you survive the food!!!

Music drives me away....
Excellent narration. 13:50.
Be a lot better if the background music was toned down..
“After that God saw everything he had made, and look! it was very good”
If you want party go to Tenerife (south) or the eastward islands. Hiking Is better on the westward islands because they are younger and are less eroded. But for families every island is perfectly fine. Enjoy :)
The narrator sounds so like the British actor James Mason but it can't be as he died in '84.
Not far from that....check the dress code and hair cuts of the people, the video recorders....and hence the annoying music. 80s style...:-D
Did 23 and me and found I was 80% from specifically the Canary Islands . My family is from Uruguay it’s an interesting history
In all of the Canary Islands, you won’t find one Canary...
Same with the Virgin Islands... not one Canary
I'm guessing the latter lacks cherry trees, as well. Canaries are overrated and one canary is enough...after that you want a Stellar sea eagle.
