A man has died and 27 others were injured after a bus carrying British tourists veered off a mountain road and crashed into a ravine in Spain’s Canary Islands.
About Canary Islands:
The Canary Islands are an archipelago located off the northwest coast of Africa in the Macaronesia region of the North Atlantic Ocean.
Geographically, the archipelago is part of continental Africa, but politically and economically it is part of Europe.
The archipelago is a Spanish territory and is its southernmost autonomous community.
It is Macaronesia’s largest and most populated archipelago.
Some of the largest islands in the archipelago are Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, and Tenerife.
The archipelago is the only Spanish region where a volcanic eruption has taken place in the modern era.
Most beaches along the Canaries have black sand due to their volcanic composition.
Climate: Desertic and tropical, moderated by trade winds and the surrounding sea.
The islands’ location in the Atlantic Ocean and their proximity to four continents (Africa, Europe, and the Americas) make them a popular tourist destination.
