First snow on Pico del Teide

After the rain and the string winds of the past days the biggest mountain of Spain located on Tenerife, the Pico del Teide, now shows his winter dress. The first snow this year lets us enjoy the spectacular images.

There isn't so much snow as in other years but it still shows the contrast between the winter feeling looking at the mountain and the summer ambience at the beaches around Tenerife.

If you want to have a look at the actual situation on the beach of Puerto de la Cruz, in the north of Tenerife, watch this webcam. In the upper right corner you can see the teide.  (azl)
