The Chinyero is a cinder cone on the slopes of the Pico del Teide on the Canary Island of Tenerife and is about 10 km away from its top. Although it is 1556 meters high, it only towers over its surroundings by 60 meters.
Its eruption from November 18 to 27, 1909 was the last volcanic eruption on Tenerife so far . Over 2 km² of land was devastated by lava and ash , but people were not harmed.
In its neighborhood, barely 3 km away, is another cinder cone, which in 1706 destroyed the port city of Garachico by lava flows .
