Teide, Pico de

 or Pico de Tenerife

Volcanic peak on the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands. At 12,198 ft (3,718 m) tall, it is the highest point on Spanish soil. Vents within its crater and on its slopes eject hot gases. The peak is atop a volcanic cone on the upper reaches of El Teide, a conglomeration of several volcanoes; its last eruption was in 1789. It lies within a national park. Nearby is an international solar observatory.
