We are used to using tools like Google Maps to locate ourselves on the ground. The maps provided by Google are handy, especially when we are about to move from one place to another, to explore cities we don’t know, and to find the best routes to reach our destination as soon as possible.
The first, logically, is to study. Geography is still our pending subject, so it never hurts to look at maps and even put yourself to the test to learn how to locate the different autonomous communities, provinces, and cities. However, students and people who prefer more traditional media continue to use printed maps.
What we propose today is a series of maps that you can download and print for free. They all have good quality, so they can be used to explore Spain community by community, province by province. We will offer you a specific section so that you can download maps of each of the communities with their corresponding areas: Andalusia (Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga, Seville); Aragon (Huesca, Teruel, Zaragoza); Asturias (Oviedo); Balearic Islands (Palma de Mallorca), Canary Islands (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria); Cantabria (Santander); Castilla la Mancha (Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara, Toledo); Castilla y León (Ávila, Burgos, León, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid, Zamora); Catalonia (Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, Tarragona); Valencian Community (Alicante, Castellón de la Plana, Valencia); Extremadura (Badajoz, Cáceres); Galicia (La Coruña, Lugo, Orense, Pontevedra); Madrid; Murcia; Navarre (Pamplona); Basque Country (Bilbao, San Sebastián, Vitoria) and La Rioja (Logroño).
POLITICAL SPAIN MAPS
We will start with the political maps. These offer divisions and political organizations of territory, both countries, cities, or provinces. On the other hand, it is possible that the political maps we download also include information on routes, communication routes, highways, and other issues, which can also be revealed in tourist maps.
What we propose below is a collection of twenty quality political maps of Spain that you can download and print: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. Usually, these maps are delimited and typically have different areas, communities, or countries differentiated by colors. In addition, the capitals generally are represented, so they are perfect for studying.
PHYSICAL MAPS OF SPAIN
Let’s continue with the maps of Spain but in this physical case. As you know, physical maps are those on which the features of the earth’s surface are represented. We refer to rivers, the type of terrain, its height, and, on the other hand, the seabed.
The terrain’s natural features, such as rivers, mountains, and deserts, are also represented here. Usually, these appear on the map in different colors to indicate the other phenomena. But they also do it in different intensities. In this way, the altitudes of the terrain and the depth of the sea can be indicated, depending on whether they are the surroundings of the coast or the ocean.
The dark green color is used to represent depressions in the terrain, while the lighter green is used to indicate plains. We go to yellow for the plateaus, and as the altitude increases, we go from orange for the sierras, brown for the mountains, and darker brown for the cordilleras. The blue and light blue tones are reserved for the water in rivers and lakes.
The physical maps of Spain will be great for learning about our country on the ground. You have, for example, the rivers (Ebro, Tagus, Guadiana, Guadalquivir, Duero, Miño, Segura, Júcar…). To get started, we recommend you download these 20 maps of Spain with rivers, some silent so that you can practice the names of the rivers and their tributaries: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
On the maps, you will also find the seas (Cantabrian, Mediterranean) and ocean (Atlantic), the sub-plateaus (North and South), the Galician Massif, the Cantabrian Mountains, the Basque Mountains, the Pyrenees, the Iberian System, the Ebro Depression, the Serranía de Cuenca, the Montes de Toledo, the Tagus Valley, Las Vegas del Guadiana, Sierra Morena, the Guadalquivir Depression, Sierra Nevada, Sierra Segura, the Penibética Mountain Range or the Catalan Coastal Mountain Range.
The gulfs and capes of the peninsula are also represented here, such as the Gulf of Roses, the Gulf of Sant Jordi, the Gulf of Valencia, the Cabo de la Nao, the Mar Menor, and the Cabo de Palos, the Cabo de Gata, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Bay and the Gulf of Cadiz, Cape Finisterre, Cape Peñas, Cabo de Ajo or the Bay of Biscay. Obviously, in most of these maps, the islands, which are the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands, are also represented, with all their features on the ground.
We offer twenty if you want to download a map that includes all these characteristics that make our country so particular. Here you have them all: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. Some are also mute so that you can practice on a blank canvas of the territory after studying physical Spain.

DUMB MAPS OF SPAIN
What use are maps when they contain no information? You will have deduced that we are talking about the so-called ‘dumb maps .’These are super useful for students because after reviewing and memorizing the political or physical maps, they can use these models to write all the provinces, capitals, rivers, or mountain systems on paper.
Most of these silent maps of Spain are made in very light or neutral colors, so it is easy to complete the information by hand about each region, which is usually perfectly limited. In this way, it is straightforward to use them and beneficial.
What we propose below is a total of twenty silent maps, both political and physical, of excellent quality, which you can use to review through your computer, but which will be much more helpful if you download and print them. Whatever you do, we provide them all for you here:
- Twenty silent political maps of Spain. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. They will be great for learning and practicing knowledge about the Spanish autonomous communities, the different provinces that make them up, and their cities, which are capitals.
- Twenty silent physical maps of Spain. If you still don’t know the rivers of Spain or have difficulty pointing out the different ranges and mountain ranges, a blank physical map of Spain will be handy. We have tried to choose other maps so you can practice all the existing geographical accidents in our peninsula. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
We also suggest a dozen blank, silent maps of Spain so that you can use them most helpfully: to make graphs and indicate provinces, cities, languages, or typical foods. They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
FUN GAMES AND MAPS TO PRINT
Let’s continue, finally, with one last proposal so that the smallest of the house – and perhaps those who are not so much too – are encouraged to learn the different autonomous communities, provinces, capitals, and geographical phenomena of Spain. An excellent way to do it is through games, so we offer you exciting and fun map games to download and print. We have also tried to include here a collection of funny maps in which Spanish customs and stereotypes are collected, and jokes are made about the character of the Spanish in the different provinces.
Some even include the most typical gastronomic products or the most famous monuments. Here we also propose a cut-out with which you can learn all the provinces in a more agile and fun way and an illustrated map of Spain full of curiosities.
