Comprehensive Maps of Spain and Portugal for Travelers

GPS Connectivity Tips for Travelers

GPS connectivity with your smartphone isn’t a guarantee when traveling abroad. Therefore, the foolproof option if you plan to navigate the highways and streets while abroad is to bring along an old-fashioned paper map.

Dive into an array of the most popular maps for areas in Spain and Portugal—some of the whole country, some more detailed maps of sections or regions—that will help get you to your destination even if your phone runs out of battery.

The northern regions of Spain are oft-ignored parts of the country. However, those willing to venture from the bigger cities can explore nature in Spain’s first national park, the Picos de Europa, dive into the ocean in the Bay of Biscay, and enjoy the culinary delights of the La Rioja Wine Region.

Spain Central

Finding a destination in central Spain can be quite challenging, as the city sprawl (and outlying areas) often resembles a maze rather than a grid.
