Island chain
Canary Islands
Atlantic / Spain (EU) · 3 inhabited
Spain's Atlantic archipelago off northwest Africa — seven main islands, year-round mild climate, and EU residency paths. Tenerife and Gran Canaria carry the largest hospitals and international schools; Lanzarote is smaller and drier with a distinct cost and lifestyle profile. Compare islands before choosing — logistics and housing differ more than the brochures suggest.
