Pleased to see that some of the smaller anti-aircraft positions up at EL Faro on the cliffs overlooking the Bay of Alicante are being refurbished.
The third picture shows one of the overgrown positions before they were uncovered and dug out as in the second picture. I stumbled across two or three of these fortifications deep in the pine groves opposite the Republicant barracks and munitions dump (in picture one) a few years back when walking the area.
Along with the two big gun batteries closer to the cliff these positions would have been used to try and take out the Condor Legion and Mussolini's aircraft as they launched bombing raids on civilian targets in Alicante and along the coast.
