Caves and volcanoes in Spain
Spain’s volcanic islands and limestone mountains hide some spectacular underground worlds. On Mallorca, explore the caves of Drach and Artà, where you can listen to a classical concert on an underground lake. On Lanzarote, Jameos del Agua is a volcanic tube turned into a cultural centre by the artist César Manrique, home to tiny blind albino crabs. On Tenerife, hike or take the cable car up Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain at 3,718 metres. Each guide includes tips on tickets and the best time to visit.
