The engine growls and the volcanic plain opens ahead: black pahoehoe and jagged cinder fields roll away toward Teide, whose cone watches like an old, slow guardian. Riders settle into low-slung buggies, wind cutting across faces while guide voices point out ridgelines and the line where lava once poured down to the sea.
