Accurate and tough the Streetwise Map
Bilbao is a city in which few speak English (even at the hotels) and I found the map a godsend. The Streetwise Biblao was sure a helop to me as a tourist. It was to scale and accurate even as to the difficult Basque spelling of words. I had another map with me (It will go un-named) and it was a joke. I've come to rely on Streetwise over the years and have neve been disapointed except when they don't have a title for the city I'm visiting.

old
2001, the map I got was a 1996 version, and therefore missing some significant developments since then, e. This map is generally useful and the plastic format is very convenient, but although this site says the map is c. g. , the Raval Rambla.

This map is missing detail
Perhaps this is the issue with this map. In engineering we learn that when you optimize for one feature
you sometimes have to give up other features, or scale them
back.

The Streetwise map of Barcelona is designed so that it will
easily fit in your pocket or purse. It is plastic or plasticized
paper, so it is sturdy. But what is lost is detail. For example,
the street in the Ravel where I will be renting an apartment is
not shown on the map.

The map does show the subway and bus routes which is nice too.
But if you need detail, you need another map. I highly
recommend the Rough Guide maps. They are detailed and
very tough. My survived daily use for two weeks.
