Teide Part 1

View Larger Map



Again, I went to the Anaga coast for sunrise and a couple of different areas which was good and then checked out of the hostel and headed to the beach for a couple of hours.

Today another naught squirrel named Colin joined me. I met him at the airport before wisking us up to the Teide National Park. This is the biggest national park in Spain and contains the highest mountain in Spain, Teide. We stopped off at the closest village and had some lunch, catching up before continuing onward. We passed though Pine forest and cloud before making it up to Canadas del Teide which is a huge caldera and is absolutely stunning. Some areas look like parts of the American Southwest and it contains an unbelivable amount of landscapes. We checked into the only hotel in the park which was a surprise for Colin and then headed out to Roques de Garcia.

The Roques de Garcia are a beautiful collection of huge rocks in various strange and twisted shapes. We stayed here for sunset before heading to the edge of the Canadas for an amazing sunset above the clouds.
