Culture and ways of life in Tenerife and in the Canary Islands in general are very interesting to see, since regarding this territory there is a particular phenomenon that is not common and is worthy of being addressed, from the cultural, anthropological to social and geographical points of view. You see, the Canary Islands is an archipelago or group of islands that are located in African waters in the Atlantic Ocean. All of the territories and islands in the archipelago: Tenerife, El Hierro, Gran Canaria, La Palma, Fuerteventura, La Gomera, Lanzarote and La Graciosa belong to Spain and the administration and laws are ruled by Spanish Kingdom, due to historical reasons. Therefore, idiosyncrasy, language and other cultural and social elements generally recognized as Spanish are present in the Canary Islands and of course, in the residents´ ways of life.
