Canarian diaspora

The Canarian diaspora refers to the movement and settlement of people from the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago, to various parts of the world. Historically, many Canarians migrated due to economic opportunities, seeking better lives abroad, particularly to Latin America, the Caribbean, and other parts of Spain and Europe. This migration has led to significant communities of Canarian descendants in these regions. The diaspora maintains cultural ties to the Canary Islands, influencing local customs and traditions, and has played a key role in fostering economic, social, and cultural connections between the islands and their global communities.
