the capital town of the island of Canary, with a bishop's see, and a good harbour. The houses are well-built, two stories high, and flat-roofed. The cathedral is a very handsome structure; and the inhabitants are gay and rich. The air is temperate, and free from extremes of heat and cold. It is defended by a small castle seated on a hill.
