I also read this book and had to look it up to see where the Canaries were. According to everything I found, the Canaries are part of Spain, which makes this book from Europe.
Yep, they are a part of Spain but are located near to the Africa continent. I suppose that's why Diane has listed it under "Africa" in her "official" list :)
Hmmm. Didn't know she listed it as Africa. Believe I'll leave mine as Spain/Europe. Thanks.
