Video: the Conquest of the south of Gran Canaria

The south of Gran Canaria was one of the highlights of the Conquest of the islands by the Castilians. The most vivid story about the death in combat of the warrior Doramas and the most earthly explanation about the apparitions of the virgins of Candelaria and del Pino are part of the "Conquest of the Canary Islands" written by Tomás Marín de Cubas from Telde. In 2022, the manuscript that was left unpublished in 1687 is published for the first time. The researcher Antonio M. López, who, in collaboration with LeCanarien Ediciones, has recovered the original and previous text of the "Conquest", which remained unpublished. And Tomás Marín de Cubas is the only member of that "first and illustrious generation" who did not until now have a complete edition of any of his texts, despite having attempted it on six occasions during the last 150 years.
