The Canary Islands archipielago consists of seven main islands: Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro.
It has a volcanic origin and is located in the Atlantic Ocean. The western islands are very mountainous -we can find there the highest peak of Spain (Teide, 3718 mts)- while the eastern islands are mostly flat.
There are no rivers but torrents: when it rains, water flows along them.
Because of the proximity of the Tropic of Cancer, the difference between winter and summer temperatures is very small. Rains are rare and torrential and more common in the north of the islands, so they have a subtropical climate.
Due to its position and climate vegetation are adapted to that conditions. The predominant species are tabaibas, dragon trees and giant cactus. We can also find canary pines, laurisilvas (laurel forest), etc.....
Hope it helps
