Gran Canaria
With an area of 1,532sq km Gran Canaria is the third largest of the seven major islands of the Canarian Archipelago. The largest are Tenerife and Fuerteventura. Gran Canaria has the greatest population.
It is a circular, volcanic island with last erupted seriously about 3,000 years ago. The land comes steeply down from the high central peaks, with vast barrancos, dry water courses or ravines.
The Capital city is Las Palmas, which is also capital of the province bearing the same name. This consists of Gran Canaria and the other eastern islands, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. The western islands, including Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, form the province of Tenerife. Together, since 1983, the two provinces have made up the Autonomous Region of the Canary Islands.
