As fears grow Cumbre Vieja, the Spanish archipelago’s most active volcano, is about to blow, two maps have been released to pinpoint where tremors of low magnitude and intensity between 1.5 and 2.7 have struck.
Holiday destinations popular with Britons, including La Palma, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, have been identified.
The earthquakes from the huge Cumbre Vieja volcano, which is located on the island of La Palma, have sparked panic across the Canary Islands, with volcano experts pulled in to examine the unusual seismic activity.
The red triangles show the location of the earthquakes as recorded by the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan) in Tenerife on Tuesday at 6.38am (local time) near the coast of Los Cristiano.

The local magnitude is 3.6 and the depth of the hypocentre, indicated by a blue star, is around 15 km.
Meanwhile, the black crosses show the seismicity in Tenerife and its surroundings since 2001.
The hypocentre is located in an area where there was previously no significant seismicity.
Another map shows the spread of the “seismic swarm” with earthquakes prominent in and near La Palma, Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
It comes after recent aerial images showed white plumes of smoke streaming out from the volcano’s crater.
Express.co.uk reported on Tuesday that the islands, popular holiday destinations with Britons, had been struck by 40 earthquakes in just 48 hours.
But overnight and into dawn, 10 more tremors were recorded from the huge Cumbre Vieja volcano, which sits on La Palma.
One of them reported a magnitude of 2.1, which took place just after midnight.
A 2.8-magnitude earthquake was also recorded in the northwest of the Canary Island of Gran Canaria, according to the National Geographic Institute (IGN).
The seismic movement took place just before midnight on Tuesday at 23 kilometres deep and northwest of La Aldea de San Nicolás.
Experts from the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan) have been called in to intensify surveillance on the islands.
La Palma is composed of two large volcanic centres.
The younger 1949-metre-high Cumbre Vieja, the southern volcano, is one of the most active in the Canaries.
But it is due to blow at any moment because its last eruption was back in 1971.
