The municipality lies inland in the province of Las Palmas, with Santa Brígida below it on the road to the capital and Tejeda further up. Mornings can be misty; evenings call for a fire.

Living in the highlands

The town keeps the character of a farming centre, and much of the land around it is still worked. A home here might be a restored country house with walled gardens and fruit trees, or a new build shaped around a terrace and the valley view.

Before you commit to Vega de San Mateo real estate, visit in more than one season. The highlands are cooler and wetter than the coast, and that shapes heating, gardens and access. Describe the home you picture, and our search begins there.
