    Trench area in Cerro de Garabitas.

    Military importance: Garabitas was the most strategic position for the rebel 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. You can get there by climbing the tree-lined road from the Lake or from the Somosaguas area.
