Image of Busot, not of the place itself.

During the Civil War (1936-1939) the great hall of the caves within the municipality was fitted out as an underground workshop to repair aircraft engines, sheltered from the bombing. Accesses were opened and electricity was laid on, and part of those installations can still be seen.
