Enjoy the View from Tenerife Hotels
Holidaymakers in Tenerife may come for the sun and sea, but it is the mountain Teide that really leaves a lasting impression of the island. Some of the peak’s admirers will know of its status as the third largest volcano in the world from its base, but few of those enjoying the view from Tenerife Hotels will know about the legends attached to this giant landmark. The Guanches, who once inhabited the island, believed that the devil had imprisoned their god of light inside the volcano. Their supreme god eventually defeated the devil, and artefacts resembling tributes can still be found on the mountain today.
