Nestled in the heart of Andorra, a mountainous European microstate, Casamanya stands as an unassuming "hill looking" mountain. At 2,740m, it would tower over any peak in the UK, but here it appears as a friendly grass-covered hill amongst the country's highest peaks.
This is frequently quoted as one of Andorra's most popular mountains, but on this beautiful July afternoon, we were blessed to have the peak to ourselves.

Pico del Teide, or Teide for short, rises magnificently out of the Atlantic Ocean on the island of Tenerife. At 3,718m, it is probably one of the highest peaks in Europe that can be climbed with no real technical difficulty. It also happens to be the highest mountain in Spain (though subject to debate). On our second trip to the Canary Islands, an excuse to get some winter sun, we decided to get up super early to try to beat the sun to the summit.
