  • Plan De Acción Insular Para La Sostenibilidad Energética
    ACTION PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ISLAND GRAN CANARIA ISLAND (2012-2020) April 2012 ACTION PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ISLAND Gran Canaria Island Executive summary European islands with fragile ecosystems and weak local economies suffer an extra pressure of island ecosystems, transportation systems, energy systems and water needs due to the activities related to tourism. The island authorities have realized the need for joining the common efforts in the global strategy of fighting against climate change and European initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions. Under the European directive to achieve the objective of 20-20-20 in 2020, the "Isle PACT: Pact of Islands project" is an initiative of a consortium of European islands that have committed to reduce CO2 emissions in order to meet EU objectives. The Canary archipelago has a high economic vulnerability due to the almost exclusive dependence on fossil primary energy sources and its high exposure to volatility of oil market. Facing this reality, over the past two decades the Regional Government has developed the regional energy plans in order to define the actions that aim at sustainable development of the sector and ensure future energy supply. Canary Islands have some unique peculiarities, reflected in various documents of agreement, both the state wide and European of Outermost Region. The singularities in the energy sector are also recognized. The remoteness of the continent and the fragmentation of the territory configurate the independent island power systems with small and weak grids that suppose an important technical restriction to maximization of Renewable Energy sources (RES) penetration, by its variable and intermittent nature.

    G E O G R A F Í A 68 ENSENADAS Y PUERTOS DE GRAN CANARIA ENSENADAS Y PUERTOS DE GRAN CANARIA P O R ALFREDO MEDEROS MARTÍN y GABRIEL ESCRIBANO COBO RESUMEN En Gran Canaria, durante el período precedente a la conquista, el puer- to de Gando fue el punto habitual de desembarco. Simultáneamente, el puerto de Sardina, por su cercanía a la antigua capital aborigen de Gáldar, ocupó una segunda posición hasta inicios del siglo XVI. Durante la primera mitad del siglo XVI, la producción de azúcar dio protagonismo a los puertos de Agaete, Sardina y Melenara, pero con la progresiva crisis del azúcar canario por la competencia americana, duran- te la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, sólo se mantuvo el puerto de Melenara, por su proximidad a la ciudad de Telde. A partir del siglo XVII el comercio fue centralizado en el puerto de la Isleta de Las Palmas, mientras varios puertos locales intervinieron en el comercio interinsular, como Melenara, Gando, Juan Grande, Arguineguín, La Aldea, Agaete y Juncal, situación que no experimentó cambios hasta finales del siglo XIX. Desde la creación del gran puerto-refugio de la Luz en 1883, el tráfico maritimo se ha concentrado en su práctica totalidad alrededor de Las Palmas. Palabras clave: Islas Canarias. Gran Canaria.

In this paper we analyze three of these rock inscriptions found in westernmost La Palma Island: hypotheses of transcription and translation show that they are short funerary and religious text, like of those found widespread through easternmost Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and also Tenerife Islands. They frequently name “Aka” (dead), “Ama” (mother godness) and “Bake” (peace), and methodology is mostly based in phonology and semantics similarities between Basque language and prehistoric Iberian-Tartessian semi-syllabary transcriptions.

  • In the Canary Islands: a Prospective Analysis of the Concept of Tricontinentality
    The “African being” in the Canary Islands: a prospective analysis of the concept of Tricontinentality José Otero Universidad de La Laguna 2017 1. Introduction Are the Canary Islands considered part of Africa? Instead of answering directly this question, my intervention today - which is a summary of my PhD dissertation- will go over the different responses to that question by local intellectual elites since the conquer and colonization of the Canary Islands. There are certain connections between Africa and the archipelago and I would like to present them from three different perspectives: 1) Understanding the indigenous inhabitant of the Canary Islands as an “African being”. 2) Reconstructing the significance of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic slave trade and its effects on some local artists in the first decades of the twentieth century. 3) Restructuring the interpretation of some Africanity in the cultural and political fields shortly before the end of Franco’s dictatorial regime. 2. The guanches and Africa: the repetition of denial The Canary Islands were inhabited by indigenous who came from North Africa in different immigrant waves –at the earliest– around the IX century B.C. (Farrujía, 2017). The conquest of the Islands by the Crown of Castile was a complex phenomenon and took place during the entire XV century. Knowledge of indigenous cultures has undoubtedly been the main theme of any historical and anthropological reflection made from the archipelago and even today, the circumstances around the guanches provokes discussions and lack of consensus across the social spectrum, not just among academic disciplines but in popular culture too.
