The CANARY ISLANDS are an island group in the Atlantic ocean off the west coast of Africa; they are an autonomous territory of Spain.
The eight main islands are (from largest to smallest in area) Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa.
Peter Cushing and the Daleks
The first of the two Dalek movies had its true Spanish premiere on the islands a month prior to the mainland. This was at the Cine Avenida on the Gran Canaria island (Grand Canary Island) on Wednesday, 28 December 1966.
