I have made 2 contacts in the Canaries. One was able to tell me that his Uncle had done extensive research looking for records. which is difficult because all are original manuscripts kept in churches and many were burned due to piracy. and that his uncle was now dead, but told him that the Curbelos were fishermen from the Azores Islands which is Portugal. I have found Inquistion records of Curvellos there.
