3 The history of the Canary Islands
The archipelago consists of the 8 islands La Graciosa, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. Politically they belong to Spain and geographically to Africa. They are located 1200 km from the Spanish mainland and between 100 and 500 km west of Morocco. All islands are of volcanic origin, their age decreases from east to west.
Millions of years ago, huge masses of magma pushed their way up through fracture lines of the earth's crust, exploded in violent volcanic eruptions and formed the islands with their basalt lava flows. In several eruption thrusts of different duration and intensity they formed the present island profiles.
Fuerteventura with approximately 22 million years, Lanzarote and La Graciosa with 15.5 million years are the oldest islands of the archipelago. Gran Canaria originated approximately 14.5 million years ago, Tenerife 12 million years ago and La Gomera 11 million years ago. La Palma and El Hierro are with 2. and 1.2 million years respectively the youngest Canary Islands. The natives are descended from North African Berbers and developed different cultures on the individual islands, independently of each other. In Lanzarote they were called Majos, in Fuerteventura Majoreros, in Gran Canaria Canarios, in Tenerife Guanchen, in La Palma Benahoaritas, in La Gomera Gomeros and in El Hierro Bimbaches.
They lived at the Stone Age level in caves and fed on collected plants, cultivated cereals and legumes, products from animal husbandry, especially goats, and near the coast on fish and shellfish.
The conquest and thus the subjugation of the Canary Islands took place between 1403 and 1496 by the Spanish Crown.
4 LA PALMA
La Palma has a total area of 718 square kilometres. Volcanic activity can still be seen in many places today, such as the Volcano Route on the Cumbra Vieja and the crater of the Caldera de Taburiente. With its striking relief, La Palma has the highest elevations in the world in relation to its surface area. The volcanic mountain range that extends over the whole island is over 2000 m high. The Roque de Muchachos is with 2426 m the highest mountain and after the Teide in Tenerife the second highest mountain of the archipelago. La Palma is also known as Isla Bonita = beautiful island and Isla Verde = green island, as it is the most wooded island with 40% of the forest cover compared to the other islands. It has retained its charm and original character, as mass tourism has disappeared.

Past the tourist information [1], turn right at the end of the street and you will come to the Plaza de La Constitución with the main shopping street Calle O'Daly [2]. It is the lifeline of the oldtown of Santa Cruz de La Palma, also known since the earliest times as Calle Real- Royal Street and runs through the city from north to south, parallel to the coast. The street currently bears three different names: From the entrance of the city up to the Plaza de España, the section is called Calle O'Daly. In memory of the Irish businessman Dionisio O'Daly, the trustee of La Palma, whose legal action against the local council led to the island being the first administrative district in all of Spain where the Constitution was elected by census.
The second section of the street between the Plaza de España and the Plaza de la Cruz del Tercero is called Calle Pérez de
