Playa de las Galletas is located in the southern part of the island.
It's a private beach to the hotel "Punto de Rasca" from

Playa de El Puertito is a 1,6 km-long beach, fully-covered with
black sand and it's close to the village Guimar.
Playa de las Caletillas is another tourism village with three lovely

The national park "El Teide"
This park offers a spectacular landscape, created by the unaffected
forces of nature and the volcano Teide. Cristofor Columb observed
its last grand eruption in 1492 from the near island Gomera just
before he continued his trip to America. In 1798 there was just
one small eruption.
If you go to Tenerife you can go with chair lift at 3,600 meters
high on the volcano and continue from there to its very top. And
from the top is revealed the most beautiful view to the islands
and to the crater itself, whose outskirts are 80km.
You will have the opportunity to go into the volcano - first with
a jeep and then by walking, while you get to still active volcanic
fragments. There are few smaller volcanos around Teide.
