The Canary Islands are located just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa, west of Morocco and Western Sahara. The Canary Islands are one of 17 Autonomous Communities, established by the Spanish Constitution, and which sets out the rights of the Canary Islands to self-government. Autonomy was granted by Spain in 1982. The population is about 2,000,000 people.
The government is comprised of an elected legislative assembly, a president nominated by the King of Spain to head a government council and a supreme court of the autonomous community.
The Canary Islands are a major tourist destination with over 12 million people visiting the Islands every year. The Islands produce many fruits and vegetables, and the fishing industry is strong.
With few rivers or sources of fresh water on the islands, clean drinking water sources are limited and development projects continue to be a concern for environmentalists.
