8 September – Southern Spain – Day 1


Suchet opens the campaign by ordering 16th Italian corps to move into the eastern mountains towards Riopar to secure the French right flank. 

The Italians ignore the guerrilla held villages and concentrate on the 3rd Spanish corps in front of Riopar.   The Spanish retreat as soon as they lose the village north of the town.

Harispe can claim a victory, but he has failed to destroy the Spanish corps
If allowed to break contact and retreat they will soon rally and be ready to fight again
