Teide - the highest peak of Spain (3,715 m)

This short trip was a real cool experience. It was short because of the restriction
of spending more then one hour above ~3500 m, unless we have had a medical authorisation,
which can be required in the capital, Santa Cruz. Without it you cannot even climb to the
top of the mountain/volcano.

Anyway, we were happy with the view from 3500 m and we had a chance to spend an hour
roaming between rocks and petrified lava stones. Although the volcano is still active,
the last eruption time was around year 1700. It was really disastrous at that time.
