ベガデサンマテオのおすすめツーリングルート

The church was beautiful and protected me from the rain and cold. A few meters up the road was a house with a beautiful facade.

Great place to disconnect from the city

From up there the landscape is magnificent.

From here you can go hiking, there is a public car park nearby. Locals offer various delicacies😊

The landmark of the town, which has around 1,000 inhabitants, is the parish church of San Matías. In the older part of the town there are numerous inhabited caves. In the cave chapel of the "Virgin of the Small Cave" there is a statue that, according to tradition, was brought here by Majorcan missionaries in the 14th century. The figure of the Virgin Mary is the patron saint of the island's veterans and cyclists. Her feast day is at the end of August.

The entire area of the Pico de Las Nieves is owned by the Spanish Army (Fuerzas Armadas de España), so there are many radar and telecommunications systems.

A very cool contrast unfolds as we transition from drier areas to a lusher zone and we were lucky to enjoy an incredible sunset.

This viewpoint offers the island some good views of Tejada, a town in the center of Gran Canaria with a special charm. In the rainy season you can enjoy spectacular views of the green landscape that the island offers.
