The intensity of migratory processes has been a characteristic common to many of the Earth's island spaces which, throughout history, have been projected outwards thanks to the special connectivity that originated the voyages of colonization and, later, the processes of globalization of capitalism, among which tourist activity has had a special impact. All this has forged close relations between the island populations and other peoples in distant places, as can be seen in the case of the Canary Islands, an archipelago that has maintained a clear Atlantic vocation throughout its history.Thus, one of the chapters of the history of this archipelago that has aroused the most attention from geographers, anthropologists, sociologists, and historians is that of the migration attraction towards Latin America and the Caribbean countries, the main destination of emigrants from the Canary Archipelago in the colonial period and during stages of economic crisis in Spain from the 19th to the 21st centuries. That lure has forged peculiar relationships that, conversely, have contributed to a significant immigration from those regions during the phases of economic prosperity of the Archipelago, at the beginning of the 21st century, and some years before and after the pandemic. This has turned the Canary Islands into a meeting point between both Atlantic shores
