At the beginning of June (the long weekend of Queen's Platinum Jubilee), I left London for a 4-day hiking excursion at Brecon Beacons Mountains in Wales.

I didn't have enough time to cover the entire distance, but it was still an exciting journey.

If you've read my previous story about the Fagradalsfjall volcano you know that I didn't have much luck witnessing actual eruption.

Anaga Mountains found on the northeastern side of Tenerife offer an entirely different environment than the rest of the island.

- • photo story Hiking on Tenerife: Arona to Roque del Conde to Roque de los Brezos and back
In the area of Arona, there are many distinct mountains. They each reach up to 1000 meters high, but their height makes a big impression because you can observe them almost from the sea level. So one afternoon I've decided to go for a hike to a nearby mountain with quite interesting, flat top.
