The Canary Islands: These are Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro - seven islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa, one of the most visited holiday destinations for Germans. However, the Canary Islands offer more than just a vacation paradise of beaches and a landscape that is both scenic and geologically fascinating. They are also a literary landscape - the setting for stories and novels, the subject of travel descriptions, a place where literature is created. On the maps of imagination and the travel routes of well-known writers and scholars, they have long held a firm place. A connoisseur of the Canary Islands invites you to see the literary landscape of the Canary Islands through the eyes of travelers and from the perspective of local authors.
