Google Maps
The Canary Islands are a "state" themselves in Spain, which means that some of the regulations are common just for this group of islands. There are 7 main islands divided into two provinces: Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the western province formed by 4 islands: El Hierro, La Gomera, La Palma and Tenerife.
The four of them have two main business: agriculture and tourism. Agriculture is becoming a difficult one because the tropical fruits are being brought from Latin America and Africa. Tourism is the one left and it is always growing because of good transportation and the great warm weather all year round (no winter for us!)
The Alisios Winds, the weather and the volcanic origin of the islands are the reason for having lots of Natural reserves. As you can see in this maps there are around xxx Natural reserves in the province:
El Hierro: 7 reserves.
La Palma: 19 reserves.
La Gomera: 16 reserves.
Tenerife: 42 reserves.
