One of the titles in a series of large, topographic survey maps, each accompanied by a guide, with most titles available in English. The maps use the topographic survey of Spain from the country’s civilian survey organization, with contours at 10m intervals, vivid relief shading, and colouring/symbols to indicate various types of terrain and vegetation. Extensive overprint highlights recommended hiking routes and other tourist information, including accommodations, campsites, sport and leisure facilities, bird watching locations, places of interest, etc. The maps have a 1km UTM grid, plus latitude and longitude margin ticks at intervals of 1’.

Each title is accompanied by a guide, illustrated with numerous colour photographs, which provides descriptions of recommended hiking routes within the park and its surrounding area. The guides also have lists of useful addresses, including accommodation, notes on the park’s history, flora and fauna, and safety rules and recommendations. Map legend and all the text in the guide are either in English, or only in Spanish, as indicated in the title.
