Montaña Roja I, Isla de Tenerife, Spain
The Montaña Roja reserve comprises a volcanic cone 171 metres high, flanked by Leocadio Machado and La Tejita beaches, which run for 3 kilometres along Tenerife's south coast.
Montaña Roja itself is a volcanic cone created by a coastal eruption and is connected to the island by a causeway of volcanic material. Saltwater pools can be found in a number of locations within the reserve, fed by seawater filtered through the sand at high tide. In addition to the Montaña Roja’s value as a landscape feature, it is notable for its sand- and mud-based ecosystems which play host to a number of endangered species. It is seen here from the beach at Golf del Sur which lies adjacent to the Marina San Miguel.
