Hiking
The Plaza Alameda marks the endpoint of the old town. More precisely, the "Santa Maria", the ship built in original size with which Columbus sailed to the New World. Indian laurel trees provide shade and a large cross commemorates the Holy Cross (Santa Cruz) that was erected during the conquest in 1493.
