Historical re-enactment in the Canary Islands
Historical re-enactment and recreation are in their infancy in Spain, however a group (or as they say, "grupitito", a very small group) have formed the Compañia Sine Nomine (Latin for Company Without Name), centered on the Middle Ages and the start of the Renaissance, in Gran Canaria.
They claim that their current arms are a joke, but that the Compañía de los Cuatro Gatos (The Company of the Four Cats) also seemed appropriate. Perhaps I should volunteer as La Quinta Gata (The fifth girlie cat!) They are bound to need English pirates. :)
It is apparent from their website that they speak excellent English, so if you're seriously into historical re-enactment and you are visiting the islands, you may like to look them up. At the moment they are only realizing private activities, however, they say that membership is open to anyone with a talent and interests compatible with theirs.
Their hopes are to establish within Drachenwald, the European arm of the SCA.
