	Canary Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canary Islands IPA/kəˈnæɹɪ ˈaɪləndz/ (Spanish Islas Canarias /ˈis.las kaˈnarjas/) (28° 06'N, 15° 24'W) are an archipelago of the Kingdom of Spain consisting of seven islands of volcanic origin in the Atlantic Ocean.
		Lancelotto Malocello settled on the island of Lanzarote in 1312.
		In 1402, the conquest of the islands began, with the expedition of Juan de Bethencourt and Gadifer de la Salle to the island of Lanzarote, Norman nobles who were vassals of Henry III of Castile.

		The MPAIAC led by Antonio Cubillo, who was exiled in Algiers, adopted on 22nd October 1964 the same flag as the Free Canary Islands but in equal bands and with seven green stars in the central blue.
		Currently the flag with the seven stars is very often used by the people, and there exists a proposal for the Communist Party of the Canary Islands.
		It was created in Algiers on 22nd October 1964 as the flag of the MPAIAC and in due time it became the national flag of the Canaries, adopted by most nationalist parties.

	Canary islands Hotels
		The Canary Islands are Spain's tropical paradise and for Spaniards living in mainland Spain they are synonymous with holidays, as they are for the hundreds and thousands of foreign tourists who pack the islands' resorts all year round.
		The seven islands differ greatly in landscape and environment, but are alike in the quality of their beaches - many of which have been awarded an EU blue flag - and a climate which gives no ground to bad weather.
		Modern contact with the Canaries began to develop in the Middle Ages as sailors from peninsular Spain arrived to plunder the isles of their orchids, which were used to make dye, and of their inhabitants, who were enslaved.

	History of the Flag of the Canary Islands
		In 1961, the Free Canaries Movement (movimiento Canarias Libre) initiated the creation of the national symbol on a foundation of three colors: white, blue, and yellow, in vertical stripes, but without specifying the shade of blue or yellow, nor the ratio of the stripes.
		The seven green stars were not incorporated in the earlier flag since the majority of the members of Free Canaries, founded in Tamarant in 1961, had no knowledge of the cerulean flag history of the seven white stars.
		In 1975, eleven years after the flag was described in the MPAIAC's founding document, the Canarian national flag was displayed next to the other national flags of Amazigh Africa in a scene of the play, "The war of two thousand years," by the great Amazigh author from Algeria, Kateb Yacine.

	Secret Tenerife: Dog symbol of the Canary Islands Disappears
		The Canary Dog is one of the oldest symbols of the history of the Canary Islands and has existed since the time of the aboriginals.
		The positioning of the dogs, on guard, horizontal, on the shield and the flag of the Canary Islands, which at the moment are unmovable, because to change it would require a change in the Statute, is not an aesthetic one, but one that represents the force of the animal.
		The English dogs that decorate the plaza of Santa Ana, in Vegueta, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which arrived in the island in 1895 are another example of the tradition of the dog in the Canaries.
