Mapa topografic de Catalunya
Topographic survey of Catalonia at 1:25,000 from the Institut Cartografic i
Geologic de Catalunya, an attractive alternative to Spain’s national
topographic survey at this scale, offering a much larger area per sheet with
extensive tourist information and vivid presentation of vegetation and land
use.
These large, detailed maps have contours at 10m intervals enhanced by hill
shading and fine colouring and/or graphics to portray of vegetation or land
use (different types of woodlands, marshland, vineyards, crops, etc). An
overprint highlights waymarked local and long-distance GR footpaths plus CT
cycling routes. Also highlighted are picturesque locations such as villages,
isolated buildings or natural features. A very wide range of symbols indicate
various facilities, places of interest and recreational sites: tourist
information centres, campsites and other rural accommodation, cultural
heritage, vineries, wildlife observation areas, viewpoints and beauty spots,
sites for recreational pursuits including horse riding, water sports,
paragliding, etc
Excellently presented topographic map legend is in Catalan only but the legend
for the tourist information and the road network includes English.
