You are (not) alone II

Camels were brought to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura  between the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century. The camels were later distributed in the rest of the Canary Islands.

After other means of transport came about in the 20th century, the population of camels started to dwindle. To stop total extinction, camels already being part of the landscape since the 16th century, now are part of Tourism in Lanzarote, humbly taking tourists on their hump in the Camel Safaris.
