The highest point in Spain isn't actually on the mainland, it's on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, a small chain of islands off the coast of Morrocco, but a possession of Spain. El Tiede, a dormant volcano, lies above the clouds at just over 14,000 feet above sea level. Situated in the middle of the island, the peak is easily reachable through the use of a gondola. But be prepared if you decide to explore El Tiede. Although this island chain enjoys a tropical environment year-round, the temperature at the peak is typically in the 30s, so bring a jacket and pair of jeans, and leave the sandals for one of the many beaches.

There is a cable car that whisks you up 1200m almost to the peak.. still not the top (the trail to the peak was closed due to ice/snow when I was there). The peak often is shrouded in clouds, but was totally clear for us (that's Mt. Teide in the background my bio pic).

great view, great air, 3555m, over the clouds, the aerial passenger line to top of the mountain only rides when there is no wind, costs are heavy but it pays off.

rent a car and drive up in the national parc ground of the mountain el teide

El Teide el volcan de Tenerife, precioso!!
