ISLAS AFORTUNADAS/ FORTUNATE ISLANDS

In Greek mythology were placed in the western ocean and peopled not by the dead but by mortals upon whom the gods had conferred immortality.

Like the Phaeacian land in Homer or the Celtic Avalon and St. Brendan´s  Island, the Isles of the Blest had perpetual summer and abundance.
No reference was made to the Isles themselves by Homer, but they were mentioned by Hesiod and Pindar, Madeira and the Canaries were sometimes named Fortunatae Insulae by medieval mapmakers.
