Sierra Nevada - Las Alpujarras

Series details

£14.25

One of the titles in a series of maps of popular hiking areas, published by Spain’s civilian survey organization using their topographic survey as a base. The maps are contoured and show local tracks and paths, although, in most titles, they do not specifically highlight waymarked or recommended hiking routes. Map legends and any additional information are in Spanish only. Most of the titles in this series were published in early or mid-1990s and have not been revised since then. They provide good representation of the terrain, but may not necessarily include recent changes in Spain’s rapidly improving road network.

In this title: southern Spain’s most popular national park. The map covers a large area, extending from Granada in the west to beyond Gérgal and to Almería in the south-eastern corner, and from Guadix to Berja. Altitude colouring, spot heights and hill shading indicate the relief. Long-distance GR routes and local waymarked PR routes are shown. The map has a UTM grid and margin ticks showing latitude and longitude at 5' intervals. Displayed below the map is a panoramic view of the mountains and the adjacent coast on which numerous peaks are identified.
