The construction of a giant cross in San Jaoquin was a pleasant surprise during a recent visit to the town. The cross, built on top of a hill, is quite visible from the town proper or poblacion of San Joaquin. From afar, it looks like a tall stairway leading to the cross is also being developed. It will surely be a great addition to San Joaquins many attractions and landmarks once completed.
