Guanche Mythology

Guanche Mythology
   The Guanches of the Canary Islands appear to have been refugees from the mainland who exterminated the original inhabitants.
   They had an all-encompassing male deity named Abora in Palma, Achaman in Tenerife, Acoran in Gran Canary, and Eraoranzan in Tenerife. The Grand Canary name shows marked traces of Muslim influence.
