At 1:20,000, this hiking map of Marina Baixa and the Serra d’Aitana details an area north of Benidorm, close to the Mediterranean. Situated between Gandia and Benidorm and rising to around 1,500 m, this mountain range is popular with Valencian hikers.
Its natural and architectural heritage includes medieval castles, hilltop towns, ice wells, farmhouses and livestock enclosures. Dry-stone terraces reflect the work of farmers cultivating the most challenging slopes. The map shows waymarked PR, GR and SL trails, as well as climbing areas.
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.
