Teneguía Volcano
Volcán Teneguía
A young volcano that erupted in 1971, with colourful lapilli and lava landscapes, reachable on foot from San Antonio Volcano.
Teneguía is the product of Spain's most recent volcanic eruption on land before 2021. Its cone is not tall, but the surrounding red, yellow and black lapilli and lava flows are richly coloured. The usual route runs from the San Antonio Volcano visitor centre down to the Teneguía crater, then continues to the Fuencaliente lighthouse on the coast, taking about 1–2 hours one way. There is no shade along the way, so bring water and sun protection. Some areas are off-limits to walking outside the marked trail.
