Teide Cableway, Aerial tramway at Mount Teide National Park in La Orotava, Spain.
The cable car system connects the base station at 2,356 meters to the upper terminal at 3,555 meters through a rapid eight-minute journey.
Construction of the cable car began in September 1963 after years of planning, with the first official journey taking place in August 1971.
The upper station provides access to three marked trails, including the Telesforo Bravo path leading to the summit of Spain's highest peak.
Visitors need to reserve tickets in advance and arrive 20 minutes before their scheduled departure time to ensure smooth boarding procedures.
The upper terminal houses Spain's highest public telephone and offers clear views of neighboring Canary Islands during favorable weather conditions.
