About the Item
The map is the second sheet (2ª HOJA) of a historical map series of the Canary Islands from 1902. It depicts three of the major islands: Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, along with smaller islets like La Graciosa near Lanzarote.
The map of Gran Canaria shows a varied topography with a central mountainous region, while Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are characterized by less elevation and smoother contours, indicative of their more arid and volcanic landscapes. Notable features of these islands include:
1. **Gran Canaria**: Known for its diverse climates and landscapes, Gran Canaria is sometimes referred to as a "miniature continent." The capital city, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is a cultural and economic hub in the archipelago.
2. **Fuerteventura**: The island is famous for its extensive sandy beaches and is a popular destination for wind sports like windsurfing and kitesurfing due to the strong winds.
3. **Lanzarote**: Recognized for its unique volcanic landscapes, Lanzarote has been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The island's Timanfaya National Park is a significant attraction, showcasing the raw beauty of its volcanic terrain.
4. **La Graciosa**: This small island near Lanzarote is known for its tranquility and beautiful beaches. It is part of the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park, the largest marine reserve in Europe.
