View from Guajara in NW direction to the stratovolcano Pico del Teide (3715 m), highest peak of Spain and Macaronesia. The shoulder on the left side is the younger Pico Viejo (3134 m). Both volcanoes raise from the bottom of a cauldron known as Las Cañadas, which is the result of mountain collapses rather than a real caldera.
