Or perhaps we should say a film star? One Billion Years BC, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Planet of the Apes and Clash of the Titans were all filmed in the Valley of Ucanca, in Teide National Park, Tenerife. It’s an inter-planetary, extraordinary experience to climb the dormant volcano so take a tour (or consider a 90-minute drive from the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife) on a road which zig-zags through vineyards and into laurel woodlands.
