Lanzarote's Continental Identity: Geographically African, Politically Spanish

Lanzarote belongs to the continent of Africa geographically. It is part of the Canary Islands archipelago, which lies off the coast of Morocco. However, politically, the Canary Islands are an autonomous community of Spain.

This dual identity reflects the islands' unique position: physically on the African tectonic plate, yet integrated into the European Union through Spain. The result is a blend of African landscapes and European governance.
