Spanish Atlantic islands off Africa — Tenerife, Mt Teide, and year-round sun
Mount Teide on Tenerife is Spain's highest mountain at 3,718 m — and from base on the seafloor, it's the world's third-tallest volcanic structure. The Canaries are seven main islands plus several minor ones, lying 100 km off Morocco, where the indigenous Guanches once lived and where 16 million-plus tourists now flock each year for 'eternal spring' weather.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Tenerife and Mount Teide, the indigenous Guanches and their language, the Spanish conquest of the 15th century, Lanzarote's volcanic landscapes and César Manrique architecture, the whistled language of Silbo Gomero, La Palma's recent eruptions, mojo sauces and papas arrugadas, the trade winds, and Maspalomas dunes.
Spain's highest mountain is Mount Teide on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, a stratovolcano rising 3,718 meters above sea level.
The Guanches were the indigenous Berber-related people of the Canary Islands, especially Tenerife. They mummified their dead, lived in caves, and were largely absorbed after the Castilian conquest of the 15th century.
The Canary Islands lie in the Atlantic Ocean about 100 km off the northwest coast of Africa (off Morocco and Western Sahara). They are an autonomous community of Spain.
