The mountains of Cordillera Cantábrica on detailed road map from the Spanish civilian survey organization, with the same cartography as their Provincial series at 1:200, 000, but combining on one sheet a wider area centred on the Picos de Europa. The map has contours at 100m intervals enhanced by relief shading & shows plenty of names of local sierras, peaks, valleys & other topographic features, plus names of national parks & other protected areas. The network of minor local roads & tracks is shown in great detail & railway lines are included. Latitude & longitude are given as margin ticks at 15’ intervals.

- PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING: this map was published in 1995 & with the subsequent rapid expansion of road infrastructure in Spain, particularly of the motorway network, it does not provide up to date road information. It is sold mainly for its excellent presentation of the area’s varied topography, its sierras, national & natural parks, etc.

Cordillera Cantabrica on a detailed road map at 1:200, 000 from the Oviedo based Adrados Ediciones, presenting this mountainous region with contours at 100m intervals, altitude coluring, relief shading & UTM coordinates, plus on the reverse a panorama of the region. Since the publishers specialize in detailed hiking maps, including the best coverage of the Picos de Europa, the map

Includes:: an exceptionally large number of names of peaks, passes, etc. Symbols highlight best rock & ice climbing areas, huts & refuges, campsites, mountain rescue posts & information centres. Along the coast numerous beaches are named. Road network

Includes:: small country roads & tracks. Local railway lines are shown, although not very easy to see on the base map filled with so much information. The map has a 10km UTM grid. Map legend is in Spanish only. On the reverse is a panorama drawing of the area, looking south from the coast with León & Pontevedra in the background. Numerous towns & villages, as well as peaks of the Cordillera Cantabrica are named. An administrative map of the area shows its division into communes & highlights its many protected areas, accompanied by an index listing, where appropriate, each commune with its highest peak. Also included is a very extensive list of all the peaks in the Cordillera Cantabrica over 1200m. Accompanying notes are in Spanish only. PLEASE NOTE: all place names are in the local dialect, so Xixon for Gijón, Uvieu for Oviedo, etc. The map is printed on glossy paper & may not withstand repeated folding & unfolding whilst traveling by car, but it is ideal for finding out more about this fascinating region outside its main attraction, the Picos de Europa..
