Gran Canaria – Canary Islands

Published Apr 5, 2005 at 13:33
Most people respond ‘The Canary Islands!! Cool. Ummmm… where are the Canary Islands?”

Like most North Americans I did not know where we were going to shoot the first episode of the 2005 Ride Guide season, and I certainly expected to see a lot of Canaries. After a quick Google search I found, to my excitement that we were headed about 200km off the North West Coast of Africa to the Spanish Canary Island of Gran Canaria. I also learned that the islands are named after the Spanish root ‘canaris’ which means dog, as the islands used to be home to wild dogs similar to Rottweilers, so no bird watching on this trip.
