Un interesante repaso por uno de los mayores misterios de las Islas Canarias, el de la isla de San Borondón, un territorio que desde hace siglos se asegura que aparece y desaparece como por arte de magia. La creencia en su existencia real motivó que fuese incluida en cartas de navegación y planisferios antiguos, que se organizaran casi una decena de expediciones que intentaron localizarla, y que a los cientos de testimonios existentes se hayan sumado en los últimos años un interesante número de fotografías. El autor, veterano investigador y periodista canario, indaga en estos y otros apasionantes asuntos.
