Tenerife
Almost 45% of the island is protected in one way or another,
between national parks, natural parks and other types of nature
reserve.
Teide
National Park
The most important of Tenerife's nature reserves, if not in
all the Canaries.

The Canary Islands
- National Parks
With four of Spain's thirteen national parks, the Canary Islands
are particularly well provided. Unfortunately, this is an
old-fashioned, messy site, and the English version does not
work properly.
Climbing
the Teide
Access to the Teide is restricted to a certain extent, to
reduce the environmental impact. This page tells you all you
need to know - how to get a summit permit, the route, the
climb... From Mike Reid's 'Fellwalker' site (I was tickled
by the assertion that 'the path is well within the capacity
of any British hillwalker,' as though Gauls, Teutons and Yankees
might find it hard going).
Mr
Walker's Spanish & Portuguese Island Selection
Mr Walker's suggestions for walks on most of the Canary Islands,
Madeira and Mallorca. A little perfunctory, but entertaining.
Pico
de Teide
The Teide is the highest mountain in Spain, even if it is
in Africa. It can be a rough climb, according to Ann Bowker,
who specializes in "the world's notable but easy mountains."

SurfCanarias
This was a promising site, covering all (I think, I am not
an adept) forms of surfing, from longboard to flysurfing,
with a section on windsurfing. It now seems to have gone missing,
or at least to be permanently in constuction, so don't bother
clicking, I'm just leaving the link here in case they do get
their act together.
Tenerife
and La Gomera - a Walking Holiday
A personal account, with some good photos and a few splendid
ones.
Walking
in Tenerife
An account by Henk Nouws, the Trails Database man. Improved
by being written several years after the occasion and Henk's
English giving the impression he was tired at the moment of
writing ("We used a German guide, which we lost").
