Abstract
The insular space of the Canary Islands and Madeira appears as a space of benefits and challenges. On the one hand, it allows Christopher Columbus to obtain the social and political means necessary for the consolidation and fulfillment of his project of discovery of the Indies. On the other hand, opportunities become obstacles and illusions due to the phenomenon of relativization. The discovery loses its meaning in the face of a diversity of already fulfilled protagonisms. The only thing that remains for our character is the astounding charm of the Canarian woman.
