What do Winston Churchill, Francis Drake, Horatio Nelson, William Shakespeare, Agatha Christie and The Beatles have in common? The life or works of all these outstanding British figures crossed paths at some point in the Canaries, although they are only a small example of the intense economic and cultural relations that both groups of islands of the Atlantic have maintained. After 30 years residing in Lanzarote, author Larry Yaskiel explores six centuries of Canary-British history, from the Anglo Normans to Brexit, exploring the fruit trade, tourism or connections with the former British colonies in America. This book offers historical and practical information on viticulture that has made a sustainable and extremely beautiful landscape possible for three centuries.
