context_page_description: Teide Cableway is an aerial tramway that goes up Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain, located in the Teide National Park in Tenerife, Canary Islands. Starting at the base station at 7,730 ft above sea level, it ascends to the top station at 11,663 ft in eight minutes, at a maximum speed of 26,2 ft/second and carrying 44 people per cabin. Conceived in 1929, construction of the cableway started on 5 September 1963 and was completed on 27 July 1971, starting operations on 2 August 1971. It was renovated between 1999 and 2007.
context_section_description: The cableway has two stations. The base station, at 7,730 ft (2,356 m), is accessible by car, with 220 parking slots, a bar, restaurant and a souvenir shop on-site.
  The cabins can accommodate a maximum of 44 people, and the journey time is eight minutes. The cables are served by four towers depending on each other.
  The mechanism is structured so that when one car goes up the other must go down.
  The upper station at La Rambleta is 11,663 ft (3,555 m) above sea level and has Spain's highest payphone. La Rambleta has views of the Seven Cañadas and the Ucanca Valley.
  Trails lead to north-facing La Fortaleza and south-facing Pico Viejo viewpoints, with the latter being a guided tour with views of La Gomera, El Hierro, La Palma and the Pico Viejo crater. There is also restricted access to the top crater of Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain at 12,198 ft (3,718 m) above sea level, by the Telesforo Bravo trail. There is a path that connects the two stations.
