Tenerife
EUROPE · SIESTA · VOLCANO ISLAND
A Spanish island off Africa with Spain's highest peak, black beaches and eternal spring.
The plan
Teide by cable car or on foot
Spain's highest point rises from a Mars-red caldera — permits needed for the summit.
Teresitas' golden sand
The Sahara-sand beach below Anaga — calm water, local crowd.
Anaga's laurel forests
Fog-fed ancient woodland with hiking trails to hidden hamlets.
La Laguna old town
The UNESCO university town the tourists skip — colonial color and canarian food.
Stargazing above the clouds
Teide's observatory altitude has some of Europe's clearest night skies.
