Algarve - Southern Portugal Marco Polo Road Map

Southern Portugal on a large indexed map from MairDumont, with four street plans and special features to aid route planning and navigation: a fold-out flap in the jacket gives an overview of the whole area covered by the map plus the adjoining regions and highlights main locations, with the grid reference system in the margins making it easier to find places on the main map. A set of seven peel-on/peel-off stickers, removable without damaging the map surface, is provided for making selected locations more prominent when navigating.

The map boldly stresses main roads and motorways in strong colours and selected towns in large letters, but also shows minor roads and villages in considerable detail. Road information includes toll roads, traffic restrictions and seasonal closures, gradient marking for steep roads, scenic roads and special tourist routes, etc. Motorway services clearly indicate types of facilities available there. Railway network is shown with stations and includes tourist lines

Picturesque towns or villages and sites worth visiting, including areas with interesting landscape, are given star rating, and other tourist information includes campsites and youth hostels, landmarks, recreational facilities etc. National parks and other protected areas are highlighted. Topography is shown by relief shading with spot heights and colouring for wooded areas. The map shows plenty of names of geographical features, local forests, etc. Latitude and longitude grid is drawn at intervals of 10'.

*Map legend and all information include English.*

The index is in a separate booklet attached to the map cover and lists all locations with their postcodes. The booklet also contains street plans of central Lisbon, Cascais, Faro and Sintra, plus a distance/travelling times table, emergency numbers and main traffic regulations.
