Tenerife's central mountain, Mt. Teide, stands at 12,200 feet, and is the highest in Spain. A cable-car ride to the summit offers unrivalled views of the lunar-like landscape of the volcanic slopes. The view from its peak on one of the frequent crystal clear days is simply breathtaking. Colors from the different types of volcanic rock are seen clearly hues of ochre, orange and rust, green, black and beige, an entire color palette in fact! On the higher slopes grow a variety of plants like the bushy clumps of Teide daisy flower.

The northern coast of Tenerife is bordered by steep cliffs, but the southern part of the island slopes down to one of the few regions of level coastal plain in the volcanic islands of the archipelago. Tenerife has traditional rural towns, hillside villages and extraordinarily unusual landscapes formed from the twisted lava-rock of Mount Tiede. It is indeed a paradise for tourists and makes an idyllic holiday destination.
