Gran Canaria

Canary Islands

Gran Canaria is the secure island setting for Aymediacoan’s historical identity. The Canaries series explores its preconquest communities, the 1478–1483 campaign and the later sugar economy. A family proceeding at Gáldar is part of the evidence behind the Canary Route and Canaries to Carlisle.

About this map and its geography

These are settings from the published films and person records. A pin can represent a town, island, installation or wider region; each place explains its scope. The stories belong to different people and periods.

Made with Natural Earth, 1:110m land and 1:50m Canary Island outlines. Public-domain coastline data, projected and rounded for this self-contained locator. The Canary Islands use finer 1:50m outlines. Coastlines provide modern geographic context; no political boundaries are drawn. Public-domain terms.

The Places in Their Time collection provides the archive’s separate queue for deeper historical place contexts.
