The Canary Islands (English /kəˈnɛəri ˈaɪləndz/; Spanish: Islas Canarias [ˈizlas kaˈnaɾjas, ˈihlah kaˈnaɾjas]), also known as the Canaries (Spanish: Canarias), is a Spanish archipelago located just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa, 100 km west of the border between Morocco and the Western Sahara. The Canaries is one of the 17 autonomous community and an outermost regionof the European Union. The islands include (from largest to smallest): Tenerife,Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este andRoque del Oeste. It is located in front of the northwest coast of Africa.
The archipelago's beaches, climate and important natural attractions, especially Maspalomas in Gran Canaria and Teide National Park and MountTeide (the third tallest volcano in the world measured from its base on the ocean floor), make it a major tourist destination, with over 12 million visitors per year, especially Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.[7][8] The islands have asubtropical climate, with long warm summers and moderately warm winters.[9]Due to their location above the temperature inversion layer, these islands are ideal for astronomical observation. For this reason, two professional observatories, Teide Observatory on the island of Tenerife and Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the island of La Palma, have been built on the islands.
The capital for the Autonomous Community is shared by the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,[10][11] which in turn are the capitals of the provinces of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Province of Las Palmas. Las Palmas has been the largest city in the Canaries since 1768, except for a brief period in 1910.[12] Between the 1833 territorial division of Spain and 1927 Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the sole capital of the Canary Islands, until 1927 when a decree ordered that the capital of the Canary Islands be shared, as it remains at present.[13][14] The third largest city of the Canary Islands is La Laguna (a World Heritage Site) on Tenerife.[15][16][17]
During the times of the Spanish Empire the Canaries were the main stopover for Spanish galleons on their way to America because of the favorable easterly winds.[18]
カナリア諸島（カナリアしょとう、スペイン語: Islas Canarias）は、アフリカ大陸の北西沿岸に近い大西洋上にある、7つの島からなるスペイン領の群島である。カナリアス諸島ともいう。
グアンチェはのちに家系の断絶や移住者の流入、および混血によるスペイン人への同化によって人数は減少した（とはいえ、現在のカナリア諸島の住民にも、グアンチェの血はかなり流れている）。その後カナリア諸島は、中南米へのスペインの進出活動における基地として重要な役割を果たすことになり、また同諸島の土地の貧しさから住民が数多くイスパノアメリカに移住した（特にキューバ、プエルトリコおよびベネズエラ）。
1960年代以降には保養地および観光地として発展を遂げることとなった。
