The pumice banks at Minas de San Jose come from the Montaña Blanca volcano, located to the southeast of the Teide-Pico Viejo complex. Its eruptions, very violent at first, sent fragments of pumice stone flying to great altitudes. It was then deposited in the surrounding area or blown by the wind to other areas, depending on its weight.
In the middle of the 20th Century various open air mines were created to extract pumice stone which, due to its characteristics, has many applications like construction, cosmetics, dentistry and various chemical processes. In horticulture it is used in diverse crops, as well as in green houses, golf courses, gardens, etc.
These mines, however, had a heavy impact on the terrain. The legal reclassification of the National Park in 1981 led to a greater focus on conservation and the enormous public pressure forced the suspension of the mining activity and the restoration of the environment of the area, as well as that of Montaña Blanca.
Welcome to Heaven! Definitely the best view in the Teide National Park. You are just above the clouds and it feels like in heaven! Breathing scenery, refreshing pine smells. Plenty of room in the car park. Amazing view on the Teide, La Palma and the Sea of clouds.
