The Guardia Civil is a Spanish police force with both military and civilian functions, what is termed a gendarmerie. It was founded in 1844 by Queen Isabel II of Spain after the First Carlist War to assure the occupation in the newly created border zone at the Pyrenees. They are primarily responsible for security at border areas, rural areas, and, in some cases, traffic zones. It is similar to the Italian Carabinieri and French Gendarmerie.

My dear bonifacio: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN? Spain, in the main, defaults to Spanish times. You think they have interludes of Italian, German or Dutch times?????
