Teide is a prominent stratovolcano located on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain. Standing at 3,718 meters (12,198 feet) above sea level, it is the highest peak in Spain and the third-highest volcanic structure in the world when measured from its base on the ocean floor. Teide is situated within the Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which offers a diverse landscape of volcanic formations and endemic flora and fauna. The volcano last erupted in 1909, and while it is currently dormant, it remains an iconic natural landmark and a popular destination for tourists and hikers.
