Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 58: Canary Island Descendants
More than 290 years ago, 16 families from the Spanish Canary Islands, off the coast of Northwest Africa, embarked on a yearlong journey through sea and land. They settled just footsteps from the Alamo near modern-day Main Plaza, where they began to lay out a village.
We reveal the remarkable legacy the Canary Island settlers left on San Antonio, how their descendants are keeping their history alive, and why the Alamo is now recording their stories for the historical record. Featuring the Alamo's Vice President of Collections, Curation, Conservation, and Archaeology Dr. Tyler Taylor, Canary Island descendant Anthony Delgado, and Canary Island Descendant Kathleen Betty.
