Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands off the African coast, is a year-round-warm volcanic island crowned by Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak. Ships dock at Santa Cruz, a short ride from the colonial old town of La Laguna and the dramatic Teide National Park, where the moonscape of lava and the cable car to the summit await. Black-sand beaches, banana plantations, and whale-rich waters round it out.
Teide National Park is the island's wonder — the drive up through changing landscapes is half the experience. If you want the cable car to the summit, note the very top sometimes requires a free permit, and the air is thin at altitude.
