Did You Know?
Columbus put in at Las Palmas in 1492 to repair the Pinta's rudder before crossing the Atlantic, and the Canaries became the standard last stop for Spanish ships heading west for the next three centuries.
The clock: the Canaries keep UTC+0, an hour behind mainland Spain — which is why Spanish television announces two times for everything.
