After twenty years of traveling throughout Mexico, Chef Ivy Stark became enchanted by the colorful, tasty native foods & was determined to bring them to America. From stylish couples enjoying beef tacos at a cafe to day laborers standing at a counter over a paper plate filled with carnitas, everyone loves this delicious, accessible cuisine. While the bright, robust flavors of Mexican cooking have tempted taste buds north of the border for decades, only recently has the country`s lesser-known street food made its way onto the American table via California & the Southwest. Versatile & simple, these dishes can be enjoyed as a quick nibble or as part of an elegant meal. Stark introduces both beginners & skilled cooks to such traditional foods as Mexico City corn, smoked fish tostadas, plantain croquettes, & much more. Stark offers time-saving techniques & make-ahead suggestions, as well as tips for working with Mexican seasonings & produce like chilies & plantains. ...

On more recent editions some GRs, the official long-distance hiking routes, are also marked (although not as clearly as on hiking maps from other publishers). Each map covers 29.5x 18.5 km (with adjustments in the border or coastal areas). The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus margin ticks for latitude & longitude at 1` intervals.

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
