The cave of Santo Hermano Pedro

This sanctuary is close to Reino Sofía Airport and is devoted to Saint Pedro de San José Betancur, better known as Santo Hermano Pedro (Holy Brother Pedro), who would come to this cave to rest as a boy whilst tending to the family's flock. Inside the cave is a wooden structure surrounded by gifts from his devotees and pieces of paper with their prayers written on. Pedro de San José Betancur was born in Tenerife but carried out his religious and evangelical work in Guatemala, where he became famous for taking care of the sick and the poor.
