Thursday's Peninsula Breakfast Briefing
By Derek Davis
4th Feb 2021 | Local News
Fascinating Facts:
It might seem safe to assume that the Canary Islands were named after canary birds, but the location was actually named after dogs. Although it's off the coast of northwestern Africa, the archipelago is actually part of Spain. In Spanish, the area's name is Islas Canarias, which comes from the Latin phrase Canariae Insulae for "island of dogs."Today's Peninsula sunrise: 07:28
