Geocache Description:


Rewind
(El caché NO está en las coordenadas indicadas. Nano magnético.)
 
Seguro que alguna vez os habría gustado tener una tecla mágica que permitiera rebobinar en el tiempo el lugar en que os encontrabais.
Muchos de los actuales distritos periféricos de Madrid fueron pueblos independientes hasta mediados del siglo XX, en que fueron anexionados a la gran urbe. Es el caso de los antiguos pueblos de Carabanchel Alto y Carabanchel Bajo.
Los Carabancheles, además de abastecer de garbanzos a Madrid, fueron elegidos por las clases pudientes de la capital para fijar sus residencias de recreo.
El centro de Carabanchel Bajo estaba en la actual Plaza de Carabanchel, donde se encuentran la Iglesia y el antiguo Ayuntamiento (ahora Junta Municipal de Distrito).
 
El caché está en las coordenadas N 40º 22.ABC W 3º 44.DEF:


Durante su resolución, tendréis que "achicar espacios".

ENGLISH VERSION:

Rewind
(The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Magnetic nano.)
 
There are surely times when we wish we had a magic key to rewind our lives back to a certain time and place.
Many of the current districts of Madrid were independent towns until as late as 1950’s, when they were annexed by the big city. This is exactly what happened to the old towns of Carabanchel Alto (Upper Carabanchel) and Carabanchel Bajo (Lower Carabanchel).
Apart from supplying Madrid with chickpeas, these two towns were a favourite place for the upper-class families to establish their recreational residences.
The town centre of Carabanchel Bajo was located in the current Plaza de Carabanchel, and there we can see the Church and the former Town Hall (now District Town Hall).
 
The cache is at these coordinates: N 40º 22.ABC W 3º 44.DEF:
(See picture above)

While solving it, you'll have to "bale out blanks".
