It is located in the Mosteiro Neighbourhood, in a landscaped rondabout, near the parish church of Santa María. It features a single step supporting a square base with bevelled upper edges. The square-section shaft is plain with chamfered corners, featuring the image of the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus on one its faces. It is topped by a composite capital with small faces on each side. This one serves as a base for a cross featuring the Virgin of the Pilgrimage on one side and the Crucified Christ on the other.
