When Fuerteventura was Erbanie…
…there were trees and natural springs and rivers in the valleys. It’s hard to imagine today. So I have uploaded an extract from The Canarian, written by monk Pierre Bontier and priest Jean le Verrier, two members who journeyed with Juan Bethencourt on his conquest of the Canary Islands.



Trees full of fruit? Streams? What a rich description of how things used to be! Viva Erbanie …
