... despite all the UK tabloids suggesting Mount Teide may be about to blow

'In recent days a series of mini-quakes have been detected by seismologists on the island hitting south west of Mount Teide, the volcano that dominates the skyline of the Canary Islands.
Around 100 mini-quakes were recorded within 12 hours on Sunday.
Although equipment recorded at least 100 quakes during Sunday none of them were strong enough to be felt by people on the surface so islanders were perplexed at headlines in British tabloids warning of "panic" that the volcano was about to blow.
But while the seismic activity was largely ignored in the Spanish press, The Daily Express, The Sun and The Mirror all ran sensationalist stories warning holidaymakers of an imminent eruption.'
Run for the hills!
Edit: No, don't do that, run AWAY from the hills!
