We had friends visiting us on Tenerife and wanted to do a rather, short loop hike on their first full day at the Teide National Park. Without having really planned anything we set out from Las Mercedes and aimed straight to the El Portillo Visitor Center asking if they can suggest a suitable hike for us.
And they did! We could even leave our car parked at the visitor center (please remember to lock the car, close all the windows and don't have anything of value visible - this parking spot is known to be a hotspot for car break-ins)
This hike took us through some beautiful lava landscapes with the majestic Teide always being visible!
