In the footsteps of war

Guadarrama: nature and history come together in remnants of the Civil War, preserved in strategic landscapes of the sierra

Nature and history go hand in hand in a landscape of great beauty such as the Sierra de Guadarrama, an area of passage between the two plateaus over the centuries through various passes and passes, which became a transcendental space for both sides during the Civil War.

The conflict thus left numerous vestiges of war constructions in the territory of the municipality of Guadarrama, generally in strategic locations accompanied by surroundings of great natural and visual beauty.

These remains, essential to our history, have been defiantly preserved despite all the new uses of the Sierra.

They are interesting both for their historical significance and the many legends surrounding them, and for the richness of the natural heritage that surrounds them.

Respect for the past leads to the desire to conserve and get to know these places better and better and they invite to long and interpreted visits.
