1. The historical development of tourism at Tenerife
12 million years ago in the Atlantic Ocean due to a volcanic eruption Tenerife was born, the biggest of the seven Canaries Islands. The Canaries islands belong to Spain, but they are located west of Morocco (Africa). The island as it is today was formed three million years ago by the fusion of three islands made up at the mountain ranges of Anaga, Teno and Valle de San Lorenzo due to volcanic activity from Teide.
The earliest known human how settled at the islands date to around 200 BC, by people known as the Guanches. They had little technology, even by Stone Age comparison and dressed in animal hides and lived in caves on the island.(Wikipedia 2012). Their tracks are almost obliterated, but here and there, their presence stays preserved. E.g. in caves at the north of the island. The first attack occurred on Tenerife in 1494 by Alonso Fernandez de Lugo on behalf of the Spanish monarchy.
In 1496 the Guanches were defeated, they were sold as slaves and the land was divided. After the victory over the Guanches founded "The

    No one really knows who discovered the Falkland Islands. Nearly every British historian will insist that the English explorer John Davis discovered the islands in 1592(1) while Argentineans typically credit Vespucci, Magellan, or Sebald de Weert. (2) The events of January 2, 1883 are not in dispute, however. On this date, James Onslow, captain of the HMS Clio, dropped anchor just off the Falklands. The next day he went ashore and raised the British flag. (3) This action infuriated the Argentines, who had taken control of the Falklands upon receiving independence from Spain in 1816.…

    • 3 Pages

    History: The island was first sighted by the Spaniards in 1565 during Miguel López de Legaspi's expedition. The Spaniards called the island Isla del Fuego or “Island of Fire,” because the island gave off an eerie glow, which came from the great swarms of fireflies that harbored in the numerous molave trees on the island. A folk legend also has it that many years ago, when the magical island of Siquijor was still nowhere on the face of the earth, a great storm engulfed the Visayan region, and a strong earthquake shook the earth and sea. Amidst the lightning and thunder arose an island from the depths of the ocean’s womb which came to be known as the island of Siquijor, hence the name Isla del Fuego, or "Island of Fire." Oddly enough, in modern times, highland farmers have unraveled giant shell casings under their farm plots, supporting the theory that Siquijor is indeed an island that rose from the sea. Esteban Rodriguez of the Legazpi Expedition in 1565 led the first Spaniards to “discover” the island. He was captain of a small party that left Legazpi’s camp in Bohol to explore the nearby islands which are now called Pamilican, Siquijor, and Negros.…
