    I suppose it should be a good place for believers, in fact there were quite a few people there. The place is... nothing. It is the image of padre Pio and nothing more. It is easily accessible even if you have to walk a little, but not much.

    BEARING CAP! because you're going to walk a couple of blocks to the ray of the Sun! The place is good but not is nothing otherworldly.

    In the place there is nothing, only the cave and is the only place where there is some shade. Bring water.
