Military importance: Garabitas was the most strategic position of the insurgent side due to its height (665m), allowing perfect visibility over the center of Madrid.
Remains: Remains of command posts, concrete bunkers, and kilometers of interconnected trenches are preserved.
The detail: If you look closely at some old pine trees in the area, they still show malformations or marks that many attribute to shrapnel impacts from that era.
Location: It is the highest point in the park.
