The Monument to Los Maquis was erected in honor of the anti-Franco guerrillas known as "maquis" who operated in the area during and after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The maquis were groups of combatants who continued to resist Francisco Franco's regime after the war officially ended. They operated in the mountains and forests of Asturias, Galicia, and other regions of Spain, carrying out acts of sabotage and guerrilla warfare against Franco's forces.
