There is a sub-species of gull, larus michahellis atlanits that inhabits the islands of Macaronesia. Not surprisingly, a series of geologically and biologically unique areas are present and no less than four of Spain's National Parks are located here. The highest mountain peak in Spain and the third largest oceanic volcano in the world - Mount Teide - in the National Park of the same name, is in some ways the crowning glory, especially as it is literally ringed below the bare summit by the endemic Canary Pine forest, but only forms part of the larger picture. Indeed the Canary Islands form an important part of Macaronesia, the N Atlantic islands complex. Day of the autonomous community.

With its unique range of endemic birds -including plentiful subspecies-, reptiles, butterflies and plants, the biodiverse Canary Islands are high on the list of special regions in Europe, and indeed the world, to visit. In summer, the number of seabirds either breeding or using its waters for feeding reaches a peak and the range of cetaceans in its waters remains high, providing the perfect combination for a wildlife tour. In winter, the sunny, mild conditions and main flowering season after autumn rains make it a superb break from the dull, cold north!

Graciosa Island or commonly La Graciosa is a volcanic island in the Canary Islands of Spain, located 2km (1.2mi) north of the island of Lanzarote across the Strait of El Río. It was formed by the Canary hotspot. The island is part of the Chinijo Archipelago and the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park (Parque Natural del Archipiélago Chinijo). It is administered by the municipality of Teguise. In 2018 La Graciosa officially became the eighth Canary Island. [121] [122] [123] Before then, La Graciosa had the status of an islet, administratively dependent on the island of Lanzarote. It is the smallest and least populated of the main islands, with a population of about 700 people. Because of their tiny size and fast metabolism, they have to constantly feed on their diet of insects, even when building a nest.
