The Canary Islands
are a Spanish archipelago which, in turn, forms one of the Spanish Autonomous
Communities and an Outermost Region of the European Union. The archipelago
is located just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa, 100 km west
of the disputed border between Morocco and the Western Sahara. The sea
currents which depart from Canary's coasts used to lead ships away to America.
The islands highest to lowest are: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria,
Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, Alegranza, La Graciosa and Montaña
Clara. |

The status of capital city
is shared by the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran
Canaria, which in turn are the capitals of the provinces of Santa Cruz
de Tenerife and Las Palmas. The third largest city of the Canary Islands
is San Cristóbal de La Laguna (City World Heritage Site) on the
island of Tenerife.

This
noble house, the origin of which goes back to 1800, is situated 3 kilometres
away from La Vega de San Mateo heading towards Tejeda, in the hamlet Caserio
de La Lechuza. In Las Calas all the structural elements have been
chosen in harmony with the architectural tradition of the area. The
stone and the wood distil the rustic essence of the classical and the timeless,
with ethnic brushstrokes of far-away cultures such as the Arab culture,
present in the bas-reliefs and latticework of doors and windows and the
rotundity of African art in the numerous sculptures that punctuate the
lounges....
