In an eventual scenario where the Caliphate does not exist or does not expand into West Africa and the Visigothic Kingdom manages to expand into Mauretania (it already controlled OTL some coastal cities like Septa (Ceuta) before the arrival of the Arabs), is it realistic to consider that they could have reached the Canary islands?
Southern Morocco was an area that laid on the peripheral limit of Rome/Byzantium and later the Caliphate, so it never received the required focus for getting into the neighbouring islands. But what could happen if the Visigoths advance from the Strait southwards following the Atlantic coast (which would have been way safer tan trying to expand into the inland/Atlas mountains)?
