Cape Juby

These Atlantic waters lie between Cape Juby on the African coast and Jandía, the mountainous peninsula at the southern end of Fuerteventura. The Canary Current flows past the islands, carrying cool water southward along the northwest African margin. In 1405 Ayoze, the ruler of Jandía, submitted to Jean de Béthencourt during the conquest of Fuerteventura, bringing the island under Castilian lordship.
