What are the islands of the Mediterranean Sea that belong to Spain?
Kingdom of Spain IslandsThe Canary Islands (Spanish Islas Canarias ) (28� 06'N, 15� 24'W) are an archipelago of the Kingdom of Spain consisting of seven islands of volcanic origin in the Atlantic Ocean. They are located off the north-western coast of Africa (Morocco and the Western Sahara). They form an autonomous community of Spain. The name derives probably from a north African tribe (the Canarii) or possibly the Latin term Insularia Canaria meaning Island of the Dogs, a name applied originally only to the island of Gran Canaria. It is thought that the dense population of an endemic breed of large and fierce dogs was the characteristic that most struck the few ancient Romans who established contact with the islands by the sea.The islands and their capitals are:* Gran Canaria (capital Las Palmas de Gran Canaria);* Tenerife (capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife);* Lanzarote (capital Arrecife);* La Palma (capital Santa Cruz de La Palma);* La Gomera (capital San Sebasti�n de La Gomera);* El Hierro (capital Valverde);* Fuerteventura (capital Puerto del Rosario).The nearest island is 108 km from the northwest African coast.Also the Baleric Islands (Menorca, Mallorca, Ibiza)

Is tenerife near Spain?
Tenerife is part of Canary Islands and they belong to Spain. It is off the coast of Africa, but not part of Africa (not true!).Actually the Canary islands are geographically considered part of the African Atlas mountain range and therefore are considered part of the African continent. In fact you can see parts of Moroccos and Western Sahara from the eastern part of the Islands.In the same way that the U.K owns Bermuda (Part of North America) or The Falkland Islands (South America), and used to own Hong Kong (Part of Asia), the Canaries exist on a seperate continent to the mother country of Spain. Likewise other nations that exist in two continents are Russia (Europe and Asia), Turkey (Europe and Asia) and Egypt (Africa and Asia).
