Camuflatge litic / Lithic camo
Un dels bunquers d'ametralladores del sector CR-59 (Roc Beneïdor), part de la Linea P entre la Cerdanya i La Seu d'Urgell.
Acabant'se la Segona Guerra Mundial, el regim feixista de Franco va temer (i per desgracia no fou així) una invasió aliada. Per això es fortificaren de punta a punta els Pirineus, amb una serie de fortificacions de formigó anomenades, amb "molta" imaginació, Linea P. Localment també s'ha conegut com Linea Gutierrez o Perez, potser com a broma. A Martinet de Cerdanya es pot visitar un sector de la linea, el CR 53, al Cabiscol.

================================================
This bunker lays abandoned in the Catalan Pyrenees. It was part of the CR-59 sector, blocking the Puigcerdà - La Seu d'Urgell road.
As the III Reich was losing World War II, their friends in the spanish fascist regime of Franco were afraid of an allied invasion (which never came, sadly). So they built a fortified line along the Pyrenees. It was much less impressive than the Maginot or Siegfried lines, but at least the mountains gave it a difficult terrain all arround. It was known as Linea P, "P-Line". In Martinet de Cerdanya, a sector of the line (the CR-53) is open to the public and restored.
