This set of two maps of the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama, Andalusia, covers more than 40,000 hectares of protected land. Summits, some rising above 2,000 m, form a natural boundary between the provinces of Granada and Málaga.
The rugged scenery offers walking opportunities for all abilities. Muslim heritage is reflected in the whitewashed villages, particularly Salares, whose minaret is an architectural highlight.
The two sheets at 1:25,000 show all the natural park’s routes, long- and short-distance trails, and a selection of 34 itineraries for exploring the park in depth.
Spanish publisher Editorial Piolet produces detailed maps of areas within Spain for hikers and mountain bikers. Initially focused on the Barcelona region, its coverage is gradually extending to other parts of the country.
The topographic base shows contour lines, peaks and shaded mountain ridges, as well as roads, villages, hamlets and farms. Selected walking trails are marked, including GR and PR routes.
Other walking trails are shown with standard black lines rather than a bright colour. Some maps in the collection also include mountain biking routes, although this is the exception rather than the rule. Symbols identify useful features such as campsites, attractions and caves.
