On the website of a Dutch newspaper I found some holiday news about the Canary islands.

On the Canary islands you can enjoy the sun, the sea and the beaches any time of the year. Some of these islands, there are fifteen different islands, are perfectly fit for active holidays with kids!

The weird thing is that this news item is talking about 15 islands. If you ask anyone here which Canary islands there are everyone will reply with the names of the seven islands. Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, La Palma, Lanzarote, El Hierro and La Gomera.

What happened to the other 8 islands the Dutch newspaper is talking about? Maybe they are referring to some rocks or tiny islands that are sometimes near a normal island, but these tiny places are not really holiday destinations. In most cases there are no hotels on these rocks and sometimes people are not even allowed there. I still have 5 more ‘normal’ islands to visit.
