The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago close to Africa and the Tropic of Cancer and within the Atlantic Zone known as Macaronesia. Their geographical position and the trade winds bless their coasts with a climate of “eternal spring ”and the resulting constant tourist demand.
The volcanic origin of the islands means that they are dominated by high mountains in their central regions, where the temperatures are much lower. This climactic contrast, together with the great variation in altitude, has led to the archipelago being called “a miniature continent”, a paradise alternating between mountains and plains, deserts and forests, beaches and snow.
Each of the seven major islands has its own particular charm. The Tenerife pictures show the famous volcano, Mount Teide. The Gran Canaria pictures have the endless sand dunes of Maspalomas beach, while the pictures of Lanzarote reveal the beauty of this truly volcanic island.
In short, the canarias-foto.com stock photography not only offers you Canary Island pictures, it also permits you to browse through the wonders of Canarian nature and capture the spirit of the islands in pictures. |
