Canarias desde el mar

This work offers images of the least well-known spots of the Canary Islands - places inaccessible by land, concealed marine inlets and small unexplored caves - but also the famous beaches and coastal areas of the archipelago, now seen from a new angle. This book gives exact information on the geological diversity and rich flora and marine life of the Canary Islands, plus innumerable curiosities, which allow the reader to embark upon a spectacular tour of the islands. The reader will get to know the areas favoured by pirates for unloading their cargos, recall the importance of the first lighthouses, study the development of the the island's ports and commnercial zones, visit the old, historic jetties and, naturally, find out about the fauna and the wide variety of crops growing on the island.
