Is there a different Tenerife?

Tenerife is know for cities troubled by too many turists. But there is a different Tenerife:

Tenerife's mountain landscape is dominated by the towering Mount Teide, Spain's perhaps highest peak, and the surrounding Teide National Park. 

This UNESCO World Heritage site features a diverse array of volcanic formations, including craters, and lava flows. Rock formations are often sculpted by erosion. The landscape shifts from stark volcanic rock to areas with vibrant endemic flora. This offers a dramatic contrast between the arid mountain environment and the coastal regions.
