Azores

£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of the Azores with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet. Each island is shown separately, indicating sea routes to the remaining islands, and the whole group is shown together on a small inset.

Road network is easy to see on a clear base which shows the islands’ topography by altitude colouring with contours, numerous spot heights and names of mountain ranges. Road network includes unsurfaced roads and local tracks. Selected hiking trails are also marked.

A wide range of symbols highlights various places of interest, including UNESCO heritage sites, churches, forts and castles, viewpoints and natural curiosities, caves, beaches, golf courses, campsites, etc.

Each island has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 5’ and a separate index of place names. Map legend includes English.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint. However, if required, the original Reise Know-How editions can be ordered on request - please contact us by e-mail.

Sample of cartography:
Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
