Hiking a mountain is the best way to find an adventure with amazing vistas and landscapes, as an experienced traveler @tatravelvlogs showed us the best way to do so in the ***Teide Volcano*** in ***Tenerife, Spain***, climbing one of the tallest mountains in the country let all of us along with him be witness of the natural beauty of these peaks and the hardships you have to endure to get there even in modern days!

> Time for a road trip and for some hiking. Today we are going on top of the Teide Volcano. Pico del Teide is with around 3700m the highest mountain in Spain. The ride from Costa Adeje takes around one hour and takes you slowly up the mountain to the cable car station on a small scenic road with many viewpoints along the way from where you have an amazing view on the island. At some points, you can even spot some of the neighboring islands on the horizon. Once you are on top you get rewarded with a breathtaking landscape and view. - @tatravelvlogs

CApturing nature with your camera can be challenging sometimes and you could say you need a bit of luck to do it, @bossel felt lucky enough and went out to see with the eyes of his camera some of the beauty nature got prepared for him, with the lens he captures swallows, ants, crows and the majestic views of the mountain and the sea and gather it all in a collection that shows a really large range of the biodiversity of a small area!

> That day I got a bit lucky, although the weather was poor. The swallows were out en masse to collect mud for building nests. There had been a water leak for a few days near the coast & therefore the ground was soft enough for the swallows to use it. - @bossel

The stories that really stay with you are the ones with characters that feel real, with real connections and bonds and it is the hands of the author to make them feel that way, @gaby-crb achieve this by giving their characters a relationship with their environment and with themselves, in a story of new and uncertain beginnings in which the players have to rely on each other to go forward!

> Treish ran her hand across the slippery rock surface. She inhaled short, sharp breaths. Her heart hammered against her chest. A single bead of sweat trickled down her neck, she instinctively flinched. A bell tolled in the distance, ricocheting off the narrow stone walls. She turned towards the sound. She forced her eyes shut as her back pressed against the cold tunnel and she calmed her breathing. - @gaby-crb
