History of Tenerife

The Canary Islands were first discovered by ancient Greek and Roman seafarers, yet it was not until the early 1400s that anyone made a serious attempt to conquer the Canaries.

The islands were named Canaria (Latin canis, dog) because of the descriptions of the large numbers of wild dogs roaming the islands, first reported by the Roman scholar Pliny
