Teide Volcano

By @mrzoltan7/27/2017photo

Mount Teide is a volcano on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. It is the third highest volcanic structure and most voluminous in the world after Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It is the highest peak on the Canary Islands and in the whole of Spain.

Me and @tinti shot these pictures when we were on holiday on this beautiful island Tenerife.

According to the beliefs of the Canary Island aboriginals (guanches), Guayota, the king of evil, the devil, lived inside Teide (hell), and he kidnapped the god Magec (god of light and sun), and took him down inside Teide. The guanches asked Achamán - their supreme god - for mercy, and he managed to defeat Guayota, rescue Magec from the bowels of Teide and plug up the crater.
