Brunete remained in the deep rear of the front, in the summer established in Sierra de Guadarrama, some 20 km to the north. The Nationalist 7. Division approached the city in mid-October 1936, and on 18 October the Republican government declared Brunete within zona de guerra. There was no major fighting reported before, on 1 November 1936, the Nationalist troops seized Brunete.
