In San Mateo you will enjoy the amazing scenery and views from its viewpoints. It is the ideal place if you are looking for contact with nature and breathing fresh air. Nearby there are also several hiking trails that provide an insight into the vegetation of the area. Some of these routes pass close to religious temples that are worth visiting, i.e. Church of San Mateo, La Cueva Ermita - Cave Chapel - and other parishes.
