The Legion, like other units of the Spanish Army, usually uses its own facilities for all types of exercises.
The Legion Brigade has simulated towns in both Ronda (Málaga) and Viator (Almería) to carry out its exercises on a regular basis, but this week the 3rd Company of the X Flag "Millán Astray" of the Tercio "Alejandro Farnesio" 4th of the Legion, based in Ronda, has traveled to the abandoned town of Minas de Alquife, also known as Minas del Marquesado, in the province of Granada, to an Alpha exercise, that is, a tactical subgroup at the level of the aforementioned Company, with support from the 4th Services Company.
