Eighty years ago this would have been in full operation trying to take out Condor Legion planes on bombing raids into Alicante. I like the fact there is at least one unmolested relic left up here.

One last untouched Civil War relic up at El Faro
Up at El Faro between Gran Alacant and Santa Pola, where this adventure started for me, much of the Civil War era archaeology has been refurbished and merged into the new cycle and walking routes. But if you hack through the pine groves behind the old barrack blocks you will find this one remaining untouched, collapsed and overgrown republican anti aircraft position. The concrete mounting hole for the gun remains intact. 
Eighty years ago this would have been in full operation trying to take out Condor Legion planes on bombing raids into Alicante. I like the fact there is at least one unmolested relic left up here.
