Located in [[Tenerife]] ([[Canary Islands]]), it is centered around 3718m Mount [[Teide]], the highest mountain of Spain and the islands of the [[Atlantic]] (it is the third largest volcano in the world from its base). It was declared a National Park on 22 January 1954, making it one of the oldest national parks in Spain. The park has an area of 18,990 hectares and was named a '''[[World Heritage Site]]''' by [[UNESCO]] on 28 June 2007. Since the end of 2007, it has also been one of the [[12 Treasures of Spain]]. Midway up the mountain are the telescopes of the [[Observatorio del Teide]]. Territorially, it belongs to the municipality of [[La Orotava]]. ==Other websites== {{commons-inline|Parque nacional del Teide}} {{National parks of Spain}} {{multistub|Geo|Europe}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife]] [[Category:National parks in Spain]] [[Category:World Heritage Sites in Spain]] [[Category:12 Treasures of Spain]] [[Category:1954 establishments
