Topographic coverage of mainland Spain at 1:50, 000 in the MTN50 (Mapa Topográfico Nacional) series from the Centro Nacional de Información Geografica, the country’s civilian survey organization. The maps have contours at 20m intervals, enhanced by relief shading, plus colouring and/or graphics to show different types of terrain, vegetation or land use. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are marked. In addition to all the usual information featured on topographic mapping at this scale, detailed presentation of the road & rail networks, rural tracks & paths, etc, the maps also show campsites & mountain refuges. 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 legend is in Spanish only.HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT 50K MAP: all the titles in CNIG’s 200K Provincial Road Maps series at 1:200, 000 are overprinted with the grid for the 1:50, 000 maps & can be used to see the area covered by each 50K title.

- 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.

Everything you `switch on` consumes electricity, even the panel lights & voltmeter, add up the amp hours per day of everything you use to see what battery capacity & charging arrangements are necessary. Although the fridge is `ON` all day, the compressor runs only as demanded by the outside temperature & the thermostat setting. All other consumptions are a guess at how long each item is used per day. ...

It was a public transport revolution. London had led the world in the development of a subterranean railway system. The first sub-surface lines, constructed by the cut-&-cover method, were operated with steam locomotives. In theory the tunnels & stations were ventilated into the outside air, but in practice they became dingy, miserable, smoke-filled spaces. As one early traveller recorded in his journal, `I had my first taste of Hades today.. .the atmosphere was a mixture of sulphur, coal dust & foul fumes`. The railway companies desperately needed to clean up their act. It was only with the arrival of exhaust-free electric traction
- combined with improvements to the tunnelling shield, pioneered by Sir Marc Brunel
- that the engineers were able to tunnel far deeper to create London`s ` Tube` system. Graeme Gleaves traces the development of the Underground from the early years & through the introduction & development of the electrified system
