Which island in the Canary Islands of Spain is the smallest and least populated?
Graciosa Island or commonly La Graciosa is a volcanic island in the Canary Islands of Spain, located 2 km (1.2 mi) north of the island of Lanzarote across the Strait of El Río. It was formed by the Canary hotspot. The island is part of the Chinijo Archipelago and the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park (Parque Natural del Archipiélago Chinijo). It is administrated by the municipality of Teguise. In 2018 La Graciosa officially became the eighth Canary Island. It is the smallest and least populated of the main islands, with a population of about 700 people.

The El Hierro island is the smallest of the seven major islands of the Canary Islands. It covers an area of 268.71 square km. Valverde is the capital of this island and it houses a population of 10,960 (as of 2010).

El Hierro is the CORRECT answer! Once again these are not checked!

Alan Waites, la Graciosa has the smallest population of only 700 people and el Hierro wasn't listed.

Alan Waites, click on the link and you will see that Graciosa has an area of just 29 sq km. Somewhat smaller than 268.

El Hierro is the smallest, but that was not listed.

Jarrah Iluka, why, do you think the island might get bigger?

This is another one similar to a question I've just answered.
It is actually an automatic 50/50 or a double chance.
Oahu and Malhumalé are not even in the Canaries!
This would have been a much better poser if it had had maybe Lanzarote and Gran Canaria as the other options.
THE FABULOUS FOURSOME STRIKE AGAIN!
