Sumario:This article explores the First Carlist War (1833-1840) in the Maestrazgo region through the work of Roque García. Based on the notes in the unpublished diary of the aforementioned guerrilla fighter, the aim is to ascertain the mobility of the insurgent forces in this theatre of operations. This specific case allows us to reconstruct an efficient type of irregular warfare. This was the case insofar as it took the state seven years to crush the traditionalist forces. From a historical micro-approach, the research allows us to analyze the approaches to warfare in Maestrazgo, while at the same time confirming the central importance of mobility for the guerrilla strategy.
