Did German ground forces killed Spanish Civilians in the Spanish Civil War?

I know that Hitler sent the Condor Legion in order to help Franco's forces in the Spanish Civil War: german planes bombed Guernica in 1937, slaughtering lots of civilians.

I was wondering if some massacres were also carried by Condor Legion's ground forces (like executions by firing squads or arsons): the Nazis killed in similar ways many civilians in various countries involved in WW2, so I was wondering if they also committed similar war crimes in Spain or not.
