Graciosa is the smallest inhabited island of the Canary Islands archipelago. It extends 8 km north-south and 4 km east-west, with an arid landscape and a population of 734 in 2018. It's the only inhabited island of the Chinijo archipelago north of Lanzarote, and administratively is part of the municipality of Teguise there. Geologically it arose separately, and in 2018 it was proclaimed "the eighth Canary Island" rather than part of Lanzarote.
