Dar1930 I have always been very curious and one of the things I liked most was spending hours and hours looking at maps, noticing new islands and imagining myself in them. To date, there are several islands that have caught my attention, either because I don't know anyone who has been there, they haven't been mentioned much in the media, or they cause me a lot of curiosity. We have all heard about the fascinating Canary Islands or one of the favorite destinations par excellence, the Balearic Islands. We know its towns, beaches, attractions, stories and some other curiosities since there are usually quite a few guides and blogs. But... What happens when we talk about the armored Chafarinas Islands, the wild Izaro Island or the half-moon shape with which the Columbretes Islands surprise? The three islands named above are just an example of the several lesser-known islands in Spain that I would little by little like to rediscover.

Only one of them, the island of Isabel II, is currently populated and has some housing, the church of the Purísima Concepción, a lighthouse and military buildings and facilities. They are also an important site of great biological interest, they have been declared an area of special interest for birds and are home to some marine species in danger of extinction. In its ecosystem there is also the largest colony of the red-billed gull in the world.
Its population does not exceed 30 inhabitants and all of them are either military or biologists . Once a year it usually receives visits from civilian citizens, who take the opportunity to lay flowers in the only cemetery of the archipelago, on King Francisco Island. Their history begins much earlier than we think since, although many may relate their beginnings to January 6, 1848, the day on which Spanish rule was effectively exercised over them, the existence of Neolithic culture has been demonstrated thanks to various ceramics. Sunset on Congreso Island Sunset on Congress Island. By Paco López In any case, it was in 1848 that it began to have a Spanish population (only the military and their families can enter) and, being able to be accompanied by their loved ones, a church was built, a store, lighting, etc. were provided. . Everything could be done to make the stay more enjoyable in this strategic point close to Melilla . As a curiosity, this enclave also served as a prison and among the people who were there, Emilio Bacardí Moreau, son of Facundo Bacardí, founder of the famous Bacardi alcoholic beverage company, served time.
