The Canaries are made up of seven main islands, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Gomera, La Palma and Hierro. The population of 900,000 people is predominately spread across these seven islands although there are several smaller islands.
Mount Teide, Spain?s highest peak can be found looming above Tenerife and its peak which is at 12400 feet (3700m) can be seen disappearing into the clouds. On Gran Canaria you can also find the peak of Pico del Nieves which is 1949 metres high.
