    Dilapidated military barracks and old mining tunnels that have been used to store military "utensils".

      The Powder Magazine, as its name suggests, were tunnels where gunpowder and military equipment from the Spanish Civil War were stored. There were also small houses where the guards of these tunnels lived, and they watched over anyone who wanted to enter the area. There are several stories and anecdotes about the powder magazine that people from that time tell and explain to preserve the history of the place.

        This place was used to store ammunition during the Spanish Civil War. Now, it is a historical place that remembers that time. It is a place that makes you think of the past of the war. Its name comes from this: "powder magazine" refers to a place where gunpowder and other explosives are stored. It is built in a strategic place, since it allowed to store materials in a safe and protected way.
