Pilar Rubio presents the new adventure reality show “Discovery Islands” for Rakuten TV in collaboration with IPG Media Brands
DISCOVERING ISLANDS is an adventure reality show that discovers the most incredible and unusual myths on the planet by immersing its contestants in local culture and traditions. A journey of discovery full of tests, enigmas and routes through wonderful territories through which the LEGEND of each season will be revealed, episode after episode, to both contestants and viewers.
For the first season, DISCOVERY CANARY ISLANDS, no better setting could be chosen than the CANARY ISLANDS. 8 contestants from 8 different countries will discover that, in reality, the islands are not 8...but 9! Because La Graciosa, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera are not the only islands of this spectacular archipelago. Between Reality and Folklore, History and Fiction, there is a ninth island... called SAN BORONDÓN.
Also known as Whale Island for the way it appears and disappears, emerging and submerging in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean to avoid the eyes of those who long to find it and the treasures it hides, SAN BORONDÓN has been part of the Canarian culture and imagination since the Middle Ages, when several navigators claimed to have sighted the island and many other cartographers managed to locate it on nautical maps with precise coordinates at the western end of the Canary Islands. To find it, the contestants will face a thrilling adventure across the islands, starting in Lanzarote and ending in La Gomera, in search of the clues necessary to find it.
