Between the deep blue of the ocean and the volcanic peaks of Teide, Tenerife reveals an extraordinary diversity of plants. The island is often described as a true Atlantic garden, where tropical species, Mediterranean flowers, and endemic plants grow side by side.

About an hour’s drive from my bed and breakfast A Jardin al Mar, the Teide National Park is one of the jewels of Tenerife and a must for lovers of nature and spectacular landscapes. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it is home to the iconic volcano of Teide, which rises to 3,715 meters above sea level, making it the highest point in Spain and one of the tallest volcanoes in Europe.
