Teide National Park

Teide National Park on Tenerife in the Canary Islands was inscribed in 2007, centred on Mount Teide, a 3,718-metre active volcano that is the highest peak in Spain and the third-largest volcanic structure on Earth measured from its oceanic base. The park protects an extraordinary volcanic landscape of lava fields, calderas, and unique endemic flora and fauna. The night skies above Teide are internationally recognised as among the clearest for astronomical observation in the Northern Hemisphere.
