You arrive at high altitude and the world narrows to rock, wind and a sky that seems close enough to touch. Pine scents sharpen as the road climbs past 1,000 metres; then the landscape opens into the raw geometry of Teide—black lava, ochre scree and the cone that dominates Tenerife. Clouds roll beneath you some days, a soft sea that the trade winds push like a living blanket.
