It's bizarre: During the Second World War, Franco's Spain wanted to prevent the Allies from landing in Fuerteventura and built two small bunkers for three to four people each. That wouldn't have helped! It's a good thing it was never used and is now buried.

Stone witnesses of a warlike era... WW2. They were obviously never used to defend a coast. Today the structure offers shelter to Barbary squirrels and is inhabited by them.
