The construction of the Military Arsenal of Cartagena (Murcia) in the 18th century involved the installation of positions for its defense.<\/p>\n
Many of these positions were built as a result of the 1926 artillery plan<\/strong>, drawn up by the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera. In July, the channel Aventuras Entresierras<\/a> (to which I strongly recommend you subscribe) took a tour of some of these old batteries<\/a>, now abandoned: the Battery C-9 of Cenizas, the Anti-Aircraft Battery of Cabo Negrete, the Battery C-8 of La Chapa, the Battery of Loma Larga, the Battery C-1 of Castillitos and the Battery C-2 of Jorel.<\/p>\n Today, the channel has published a new video showing an interesting tour and two bivouacs through other batteries and places in the area:<\/strong> the C-50 Anti-Aircraft Battery in Atalay\u00f3n, the C-51 Anti-Aircraft Battery in Rold\u00e1n and the C-3 Battery in La Parajola. The route continues towards two abandoned places next to the huge Escombreras oil refinery<\/strong>, the largest industrial project in the history of Spain. These places are the old Escombreras cemetery and the old Escombreras church<\/strong>, located near the cemetery and now empty.<\/p>\n The trip ends at the Cemetery of Our Lady of Remedies, in Cartagena<\/strong>, visiting the tomb of an illustrious Spanish sailor: Isaac Peral, the inventor of the first submarine armed with torpedos.<\/p>\n
