a completely bizarre, volcanic landform, El Tanque

Maybe this dates from the 1706 eruption of Mt. Teide, which reportedly devastated the town of El Tanque? Not sure, and couldn't communicate well enough with anyone to find out. We did get a good deal on some bags of oregano and saffron in this little town. Imagine, intentionally purchasing a little bag of oregano...

Hi Jim... I was in Tenerife in last August, and I've been in El Tanque and I took some shoots of this weird landform. I don't know the origin of this yet... I did some searches and nothing. You know already what kind of natural element did this to the hill?
By the way nice shoots ;)
