Spain Majorca Army Base July 2013 (warning very pic heavy)

[TheBaronof Scotland]

Family holiday, got a day to myself with the camera

This place was huge and I know I only covered 40% ish, the site covers a few miles and in 35 degree heat I felt I had done enough in 3 hours, but maybe a return next year to cover the other bits.

I honestly stripped this down from 70+ plus shots

There was almost a higher ranking living area once passed the main gate

the only real graffiti I saw

old statue knocked down

Outdoor bath for higher ranking personal

Another checkpoint ?

A very hot and long road to the rest of the base

random buildings

entrance to an underground area

more underground entrances

pitch black

led to this

directly beneath this

Then I found the long tunnel !!!

which became this, gotta say, I`m not a fan of underground and this was maybe 200m long with a few off shoots to the cliff sides

up top I found this

then the long walk back to the car

Cheers

Ah nicely done there Mr B, great lookin set. I recognise an open gun emplacement there, most likely AA. The stores beneath will have been the magazine. Cordite storage with the racks being used for shells. The last few shots are of an artillery gun emplacement which would have sat on that central mount. The tunnels look a little narrow for air raid shelter although they'd have multiple uses. Most likely ammo/personal transport. Can you tell I've spent too much time reading about wartime batterys...

Nice shots mate looks a massive site..surely the underground parts would have been a relief to be in the cool of beneath!
