We are currently very used to using tools like Google Maps to locate ourselves on the ground. The maps that Google provides us are very useful, especially when we have to move from one place to another, to explore cities that we do not know and to find the best routes to reach our destination as soon as possible.
However, students and people who prefer other more traditional media continue to use printed maps. The first, logically, to study. Geography is still our pending subject, so it never hurts to look at maps and even test yourself to learn how to locate the different autonomous communities, provinces and cities .
What we propose today is a series of maps that you can download and print for free. They are all of good quality, so they can help you explore Spain community by community, province by province. In fact, we will offer you a specific section so that you can download maps of each of the communities with their corresponding provinces: 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, Gerona, Lleida, Tarragona); Valencian Community (Alicante, Castellón de la Plana, Valencia); Extremadura (Badajoz, Cáceres); Galicia (La Coruña, Lugo, Orense, Pontevedra); Madrid ; Murcia; Navarra (Pamplona); Basque Country (Bilbao, San Sebastián, Vitoria) and La Rioja (Logroño).
Political maps of Spain
We will start with the political maps. These offer divisions and political organizations of a territory, both countries, cities or provinces. It is possible, on the other hand, that the political maps that we download also include information on routes, roads, roads and other issues, which can also be revealed on tourist maps.
These maps are usually clearly delimited and usually have the different areas, communities or countries differentiated by colors . In addition, the capitals are usually represented, so they are perfect for studying. 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.
Physical maps of Spain
Let's continue with the maps of Spain, but in this case physical. As you know, physical maps are those in which the characteristics of the earth's surface are represented . We refer to the rivers, the type of terrain, its height and, on the other hand, the seabed.
The natural features of the terrain, such as rivers, mountains and deserts, are also represented here. These usually appear on the map in different colors to indicate the different 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 the surroundings of the coast or the ocean.
The dark green color serves to represent the depressions in the terrain , while the lighter green serves to indicate the plains. We go to yellow for the plateaus and as the altitude increases, we go from orange for the mountains, brown for the mountains and darker brown for the mountain ranges. The blue and light blue tones are reserved for water in rivers and lakes.
On the maps you will also find the seas(Cantabrian, Mediterranean) and ocean (Atlantic), the sub-plateaus (North and South), the Galaico Massif, the Cantabrian Mountains, the Basque Mountains, the Pyrenees, the Iberian System, the Ebro Depression, the Serranía de Cuenca, the Montes of Toledo, the Tagus Valley, Las Vegas del Guadiana, Sierra Morena, the Guadalquivir Depression, Sierra Nevada, Sierra Segura, the Penibetic 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 Cabo de Palos, the Cabo de Gata, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Bay and the Gulf of Cadiz , Cabo Finisterre, Cabo Peñas, Cabo de Ajo or the Bay of Biscay. Obviously, most of these maps also represent the islands, which are the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands, with all their characteristics on the ground. If you are interested in downloading a map that includes all these characteristics that make our country so special, we offer you a total of twenty. Some are also mute, so that after studying physical Spain you can practice on a blank canvas of the territory. 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.Maps of Spain by autonomous communities

Maps of Spain mute
What are maps for when they do not contain information? You will have deduced that we are talking about the so-called 'silent maps'. These are super useful for students, because after having reviewed and memorized 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 that it is easy to fill in the information by hand on each of the regions, which are usually perfectly limited. In this way it is very easy to use them and that they are useful.
What we propose below is a total of twenty silent maps, both political and physical, of very good quality, that you can use to review through the computer , but that will be much more useful if you download and print them. Whatever you do, we provide them all here:
- Twenty silent political maps of Spain . They will be great for you to learn and practice knowledge about the Spanish autonomous communities, but also the different provinces that compose them and their cities, which are capitals. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
- Twenty silent physical maps of Spain . If you still do not know the rivers of Spain or you have difficulties to point out the different mountain ranges and mountain ranges, a blank physical map of Spain will be very useful. We have tried to choose different maps, so that you can practice all the existing geographical features on 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 silent maps of Spain, completely blank, so that you can use them in the way that is most useful to you: to make graphs, point out provinces, cities, languages or typical foods. Here you have them: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Fun games and maps to print
Let's continue, finally, with a final 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. A good way to do it is through games, so what we propose are interesting and fun map games to download and print . We have also tried to include here a collection of funny maps, in which Spanish customs, stereotypes are collected and jokes are made about the very character of Spaniards 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.
