The Canary Islands in pictures: volcanic landscapes and one of the biggest carnivals in the world. On Tenerife, see Teide National Park around Spain’s highest mountain and ride the Teide cable car towards the summit. On Lanzarote, the gallery shows the lava fields and craters of Timanfaya National Park. Every year before Lent, the streets of Santa Cruz fill with costumes and music during the Carnival of Tenerife.
