La Gomera and La Palma islands have been the hardest hit.
Firefighters have mostly contained the fires, but doing so was extremely difficult due to deep ravines on the islands.
Garajonay National Park on La Gomera is home to species of plants and animals that can not be found anywhere else in the world.
Officials are investigating that fire as they believe it to have been the work of an arsonist.
The islands are part of Spain, and the entire country saw it's driest winter in seventy years.
Over the summer, fires have destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres, many buildings and homes, and killed at least four.
