"..chicken,they taste like unfulfilling tiny bits of chicken"
Best Answer: Yes, of course. The original inhabitants of the Canary islands were the Gaunches who were descendants of Berbers, a white North African group. In fact, the original Spanish explorers were surprised to find that many of the natives had blond hair, unique among North African groups! The natives were later supplanted by the Spanish who colonized the islands in the 15th century. Modern Canary Islanders are mainly of Spanish background, but some do have significant amounts of native ancestry. However, today the population of the Canary Islands looks no different than the majority of other Spaniards.

No canaries on the Canary Islands? I heard it’s the same story on the Virgin Islands......no canaries.
Thanks for posting this, blam. Very interesting and intriguing.
No canaries in the Canary Islands. It’s like the Virgin Islands. No canaries there, either.
Sorry.... I just like that gag.
Very interesting. Thanks.
18. The Canary Island has a current named for them that is the Eastern boundary of the only sea completely defined by currents.
“The use of peppers and chilies originally came from African Berbers”
Every source says chili peppers came from the New World.

I wonder if there wasn’t a whistling language in wide spread use in Europe and the mid east with lots of local dialects in the distant past, maybe pre-dating the Indo-Euro invasion.
We’re planning on stopping in the Canary isles on the way back from Europe after we sail our boat there in a few years.
I want to visit the astronomical observatory there.
