There have been five successive low intensity earthquakes in recent days in the island's most volcanically active zone, in the area between Mount Teide and Santiago del Teide. |

There are many places to go beyond the beach, most obviously the lunar landscape of the dormant volcano Teide, but also the mysterious Pyramids of Guimar. |
|
As you reach Santiago del Teide at 1,000ft above sea level, there's a real nip in the air. |
|
The Teide volcano on Tenerife is the highest mountain in Spain, and the third tallest volcano on Earth on a volcanic ocean island. |
|
We did opt for a less conventional jaunt, to Mount Teide National Park in the interior of the island. |
|
El Teide is Spain's highest, surrounded by the stunning scenery of Teide National Park. |
|
Teide National Park is the most visited in Spain, and the oldest and largest within the Canary Islands. |
