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.

Few things exercise the mind of a Telegraph reader more than the misuse & abuse of the English language. Indeed, so ever vigilant for crimes of grammar, spelling & punctuation is this redoubtable breed that it is never off duty, keeping a beady eye peeled for linguistic lapses wherever it travels. The fruits of these efforts make for disturbing viewing: menus exhorting diners to sample the delights of ` Lavander Frog Porridge`, ` Roast Bowel` or the metaphysically curious ` Evil Water`; retailers happy to trade under names such as ` Chiap Tatt Enterprise` & ` Chancy Investments`; or the optician who didn`t blink at the prospect of calling himself the ` Wong Eye Specialist`. Whether garbled by online translators or run over rough-shod by Britons who really should know better, our mother tongue is truly in a parlous condition. Thankfully the Telegraph & its readers are on hand to expose these misdemeanours to the cleansing power of ridicule, publishing the most egregious & amusing examples in the weekly article Sign Language. In this book, to aid in their valiant cause, we present the very best sightings from the year gone by. ...

- images attracts more than 300, 000 online visitors every week, & thousands of submissions from around the world. This book collects the very best of Sign Language, many never previously published online. Guaranteed to elicit horrified chuckles.
