    Default Gun Battlements Ibiza

    during the second world war, Ibiza was under german command. these 3 battlements are on botafock island, across from Ibiza harbour.
    sadly mostly filled with rubbish, but interlinked with tunnels, all that remains is here.

    hi richy,

    a couple more too, but in all honesty i was bricking it lol .
    i found another tunnel near cabo roig in spain recently too, got pics in there. no rooms in either tho. but at the cabo roig one i couldnt find any evidence of any remains, just a really odd kind of above ground storage bunker and the remains of an underground/surface one too.

    hi polski
    never mind there, i've lost my bottle on a few holes in the ground, even with other people with me.

    Fascinating pics, thanks, polski. I'd no idea that part of Spain had been occupied by the Germans during WWII although I knew that Franco was a Fascist
