Teide, Volcano in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province, Spain.
Mount Teide rises 3,715 meters above sea level, forming a massive cone structure composed of layers of basalt, phonolite, and trachybasalt materials.
The volcano's last recorded eruption occurred in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent, marking a significant geological event in the island's natural history.
Native Guanches people regarded the mountain as sacred territory and believed a powerful entity named Guayota resided within the volcanic structure.
Visitors can reach the summit through a cable car system that operates daily, connecting the base station at 2,356 meters to the upper station.
The mountain creates the largest volcanic shadow in the world, extending over 40 kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean during sunrise and sunset periods.
