    In the front part there is a very good place to relax and sit down

      The local community has dedicated this church not to one of the (almost infinite) saints, but to "Santa Cruz" for its patronage. Perhaps a brief stop for hikers or walkers is the appropriate time for a short meditation and a prayer to God. I would therefore like to invite you to prayerfully contemplate God's infinite love for us humans, revealed in Christ nailed to the wood of the cross. Perhaps a quote from the Spanish order's founder, Ignatius of Loyola (1491 to 1556), can help:
      + "Trust in God rises highest,

      where human hopes sink lowest.
      For where all human help gives way, there it makes way for divine help."
