Crossroads to reach Villanueva del Pardillo or Colmenarejo, with beautiful views.

I provide a photo of this place, where you can see several bullet holes in one of the walls of one of the buildings. The holes are quite grouped and at the height of a normal-sized person's head. The impact wall is on the east side. This position was defended by a tabor of marksmen from Ifni and by a century of phalanx from Valladolid. Some historians say that the first shots of the Battle of Brunete probably took place in this place on July 5, 1937. This position fell on the 7th. The attackers of the Red Army came after climbing the valley located to the west, the Valdeyerno valley, and from the north along the livestock route that crosses this plateau, leading to Valdemorillo. The impacts that can be seen on the facades of the east side of both buildings, I believe, are not the product of combat, but rather of shootings on those walls, of captured national soldiers.

Antigua Pilar copper mine is the largest exploitation in the Colmenarejo and Galapagar area. It is an abandoned underground copper mine that has bluish speleothems worthy of admiration, as well as numerous vestiges of its mining activity.

This is one of the many bunkers that were on the Brunete front, in very good condition. If you go around it, you will be able to see its access, which is located at the back.

This lime kiln will perhaps be the best preserved in the area. The cylindrical shape of the base draws a lot of attention, on which a conical shape rises with its gas outlet. Because of this shape they are known as bottle ovens. This refractory ceramic kiln uses kaolin to produce refractory bricks.

Next to Alto de los Llanos are these ruins which, it is said, were the headquarters of the Republican command. Very close we can also find the geodesic vertex of the place, which is located at 746 meters of altitude.

The function of this type of chimneys is to act as pressure relief valves in hydraulic systems. In this case, it is located in the canal that carries water from the Picadas reservoir to the station that treats drinking water in Majadahonda.

This cave-shelter served as anti-aircraft protection during the Spanish Civil War. It belonged to the Republican side, and its strategic location against the hill made bombing difficult. It was built with pick and shovel after the Battle of Brunete.
