We bought this traditional stone house in Northern Spain, and it holds a lot of secrets. Resistors/ rebels who were fighting against the Franco regime operated out of the house. Local history says that there were multiple times when the house was surrounded by the civil guard but those inside escaped, so lots of people in the area believe there are hidden tunnels.
A local historian stopped by here yesterday and told us that there is a hiding place under our bread oven, which is in a courtyard. We're going to explore it today.
We've already found other secret places and hidden items in the house. It's quite the adventure.
UPDATES HERE: I'll post pictures after in a new post.
We're checking for bats. Horseshoe bats are a protected species and we can't disturb them. There are horseshoe bats in the chimney but not where we want to go.
Very dirty job, had to stop and find a mask. Lots of debris, ashes, small bones. It's not a very big space.
We have not found a tunnel/hiding space yet. But we did find a box. Wooden, wrapped in burlap. We'll film opening it after we've dug out the rest of the space.

If there is a safe somewhere, I'm out.
