Five cities furthest from a bigger in the same continent, with a map.
Name the five cities in each continent, with a population over 10,000, that are furthest from a bigger city in the same continent. Distance and population are given. Nearest bigger city, that is not a remaining answer, is shown.
Ok, so I'm rather confused about the inclusion of Ponta Delgada here.
By my calculations the closest larger European city to Ponta Delgada is not Cascais (at 1,425 km) but rather Funchal (at 977 km), which in turn is quite close to the larger Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
So in fact, if anything in that general area is on this list, it should probably be Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, at 1,311 km from Lisbon.
Even though the Canary Islands and Madeira politically belongs to the European countries Spain and Portugal, they geograhpically belongs mostly to Africa. But, of course, there are also other ways to group islands to continents.
