Fuentura is the second largest of the Canary Islands off the coast of North Africa, with Tenerife being the largest. The island's history is rooted its indigenous Guanche population’s colonization by the Spanish.

The island is not tied historically to the slave trade, unlike the Canary Islands of La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro.
