Área Recreativa Santiaguiño do Monte

The recreational area of Santiaguiño do Monte has several services and is equipped with grills, fountains, tables and a playground. This space is dedicated to leisure and enjoyment of nature but it is also closely related to the cave in which the Apostle Santiago had hidden. Therefore, this place symbolizes the forgiveness of sins.

We also find a fountain that hides a great tradition, because according to the story, in this place there was a miracle of the Apostle Santiago. He made the water flow after hitting the fountain three times with his cane to quench the thirst of a kind woman.
