[edit] translation
As of the time this is written, I have started translating this article, since no one has come forward and it's up for deletion soon enough. No problem, I'm a translator, and so is my mom :)

I made a change to the last paragraph of the article; it mentioned some of the attractions of the islands. It needed an update because one of the attractions mentioned, Dedo de Dios, was destroyed by Tropical Storm Delta a couple of days ago. I also tried to make Delta's name link to the correct page, but apparently I'm not that sophisticated at this yet because it didn't work, so I changed it back and let it continue linking to the disambiguation page.

500 BC is more accurate than 3000 BC
Friends, today anybody defend 3000, but 500 BC

Several things I'd like to point out.
Fist - Guanches refer to the native inhabitants of Tenerife island. Old Gran Canarians were known as "canarians" or "canarii".
Most probably the name of Tamaran only refered to one part of the island (namely Southwest, ie the area comprising from Maspalomas to Mogan more or less). The name was Canaria, see Viera Y Clavijo "Historia de la Conquista de Canarias" (still quite valuable) and other present-day works
I have not edited anything but simply would like the authors to correct those misconceptions.
