After years of political disputes, Spain’s government has agreed a plan to relocate thousands of unaccompanied migrant children across the country, to relieve overcrowded, substandard reception centres on the Canary Islands.
The seven islands are part of Spain but sit off the African coast.
They're struggling to manage a record breaking 47,000 migrant arrivals from last year.
