Main sights
- Napoleonic battery: The remains of the 18th century fortress are situated in a small promontory on the east side of the new village of Gavarda. The Battery was built in a strategic point since from its position took control over the Júcar River and the road connecting Castilla and Valencia being used during the Independence War. The latest archeological studies show its use as a Fort.[2]
gollark: Airport security would be marginally better if they at least had EXPLANATIONS for things.
gollark: What if the clothes are BOMBS?
gollark: Oh, and aeroplanes are somewhat less dangerous than cars, so if you discourage people from using airports via airport "security" and make them use cars instead, you're sort of causing additional deaths.
gollark: I'd want less "secure" travel, really.
gollark: Air travel is waaaay better than anything else for quite a lot of journeys, and trains, while sort of better, don't get implemented many places.
