Spain North - Santiago Route

£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of northern Spain highlighting pilgrim routes to Santiago de Compostela. The map, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project, combines topographic and tourist information and is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

Road and rail networks are easy to see on a clear base which presents topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes and names of mountain ranges. Road network includes local roads and tracks and gives driving distances on main and secondary roads. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces.

The main route of the Way of St James from Pamplona, across Logroño, Burgos, León and Ponferrada is clearly marked. The map also shows the alterative coastal route and its variants. Various churches and monasteries along the route are hightlighted.

National parks and protected areas are shown and symbols indicate other places of interest, including campsites and refuges, archaeological remains, castles, viewpoints, beaches, golf courses, etc. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 20’. 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, including Spain, Pyrenees and Andalucía - Costa del Sol, 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.
