Volcan El Teide, Canary Islands, Spain
4.5 (13.6k reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Tenerife Volcanos
Highest peak in Spain
If you want to go with the cable car on Teide volcano, the ticket is around 38 euros for a return trip. The cable car reaches 3500m. You can also reach the peak, if the weather is good and have a special authorization. From the cable car viewpoint you can enjoy some nice views over the park, seeing the old vocano (there is information about the development of the volcano) The temperatures are low on Teide, so I would recommend to dress acordingly.

Awesome
I hired a car and took a leisurely drive from Los Cristianos via Valle de San Lorenzo, Granadilla di Abona and Vilaflor (the best and most scenic route in my opinion) setting off around 9.30 am. As you enter the main crater, Las Canadas, which is vast, the landscape is just awesome! I booked online in advance for 1140 and when I arrived there were plenty of car parking spaces. One hour later and it was full. Very efficient boarding the cable car, staff very helpful, you get approx one hour at the top (I stayed a little longer, no problem, the return time doesn't seem to be fixed)) There's a path around the mountain, from the top cable car station, where you get fantastic views of Las Canadas, the main crater, the horizon beyond, surrounding islands and a close up view of Pico Viejo. You can't go to the summit anymore without buying a special ticket./ pass online a few weeks in advance, costs 66 euros, for 3 hours.The air is quite thin at the top station of the cable car, but shouldn't be an issue unless you have breathing difficulties or suffer from vertigo. Although this was January and there were patches of snow around, the sun felt quite strong in a crystal clear blue sky, so I was quite comfortable with a warm jacket over a t-shirt, and good trainers, Having been to the summit twice in the past with the family I can definitely recommend it if you don't mind the cost and the risk of cancellation due to bad weather as you have to book so far in advance, Even if you don't do the cable car trip, I can highly recommend a visit, an experience not to be missed.

Great Experience
We took a coach up with the intention of taking the cable car to the summit (that was closed for safety), The journey up & back is interesting & certainly fascinating as well as challenging going through the cloud base in both directions. How the coach maneuvers the turns is tantamount to a miracle there are not more accidents. The parking area however & surrounding areas are well worth the trip with its remarkable scenery, above the clouds. So many variations in plateau's & rock formations, a fantastic place for mindfulness, just sit on a rock & watch nature in its rawest form. Hotel /Cafe is a rip off & you pay to use the only facilities available (free if you buy an over priced item in the shop!). We didn't have the opportunity but there are sunset tours which I would in hindsight have taken to see such a clear sky at night must be stunning, something to think about. Well worth the trip.
