Spain is the second most mountainous country in Europe, with ranges such as the Pyrenees, the Picos de Europa and the Sierra Nevada, where you can ski within sight of the Mediterranean. The country’s highest peak, however, is not on the mainland but on Tenerife. Mount Teide rises to 3,718 metres and can be reached by cable car and a short hike, with a permit required for the very summit.
