So that you can make yourself a slight idea of what things were there, after three months I decided to leave the island with an iron boat which I knew that it had a rusty patch under the paint cover, at the bow near the floating line, and more rust in the tanks which were spilling the diesel into the central bilge.

I don't have a first hand experience with the other islands, only the Gran Canaria. But from the many people with who I have shared my experiences and who have been living in other islands, my impresion is that they are not that different.

I strongly disagree.

I disagree, again.

By the way, there is only one place in Spain where you are left alone only if you pay a tax to a mafia-like people, and that is in the Basque Country. That mafia-like people are the so-called Basque independentists, who are more or less protected by the Autonomous Basque government ("those boys" as Arazallus affectively calls them).

For what I read you obviously know very little about the Basque Country, the Canary Islands, and the politics in Valencia and Galicia.
