Between 1946 and 1950 the Agrupación Guerrillera de Levante y Aragón operated in the Serranía. In 1950 the Civil Guard killed two of its men near Arcos de la Sierra, and they were buried in the village cemetery.
In March 2006, the Asociación para la Recuperación de la Memoria Histórica de Cuenca promoted exhumation. Documents and testimony attribute the remains to those two guerrillas; DNA has not confirmed this.
