The maquis action in Los Santos

Historical milestone · Los Santos, Guijuelo, Salamanca

Image of Los Santos, not of the place itself.

In March 1946 a band of maquis entered the settlement and killed the mayor, the deputy mayor and the local head of the Falange. Some versions explain it as revenge for the murders of 1936 and others as a failed raid.
