According to legend, Guayota (the devil) kidnapped Magec (the god of light and the sun) and imprisoned him inside El Teide. The Guanches asked their supreme god Achamán for clemency, so Achamán fought Guayota, freed Magec from the bowels of the mountain, and plugged the crater with Guayota. It is said that since then, Guayota has remained locked inside Teide.
