Sorry if this is a daft question but we’re stumped. We’re in Spain using our trusty old giant fold out road map, which is out of date, very tatty and fights back when being refolded. What we want is an A4 spiral mapbook, we have one of France which is very user friendly. The problem is we cannot find a shop or garage that sells them. Does anyone have any ideas please?
 
A friend of mine died just before Christmas and was a motorhomer who travelled to Spain and Portugal,I have some items of his to dispose of there are some guide books and maps in the group. I will look at them and see if there is a map for you give me 24 hours and I will get back to you the maps will be free but if you can't collect postage may be required.

WH Smith sell them

:wave:
 
try repsol garages or cepsa garages . they used to sell the mapamax map books . or try asking in shops for grupo anyaa, s.a. maps they do the best spanish maps . they are a madrid based company. if in uk buy off amazon .
i have various ones here from 2004 to 2016. great map books.
the repsol and the cepsa ones have their garages marked on the maps .
 
Have you tried your nearest Carrefour, and Norauto branch, usually close by Carrefour.
Most larger Spanish towns will have a Mapfre (Spanish AA) Branch Office sometimes
with shop.
Nearly forgot Feu Vert, if Norauto can't be found in a shopping centre then Feu Vert
usually will be.

I 2nd that i got a new map from my local repsol garage at the beginning of the year find them very good shows all the small villages that a lot dont show Even Alan found us on it when he came up .:wave:
 
I thought the OP was actually in Spain and looking for a place to buy spiral bound maps? As of now.
But I could be wrong.

That’s really kind of you but as we are already in Spain it would be a bit difficult. We just need to know where the mapbooks are sold over here, so we can buy during our travels. Much appreciate you offer though.
 
Thanks for the replies, we’ve tried Repsol garages and various supermarkets, no luck so far. We’ll certainly look into the other suggestions, all very helpful and appreciated.
 
Amazon in Spain can deliver purchases to collection points.

You could buy an atlas online and pick up at a suitable location ...

Problem when the new map books comes out at the start of the year they don't print enough and sale very quickly try and find a small Village with a Repsol garage you might have better luck getting one there . Have a safe trip :wave:

I noticed last week that the Repsol garage in Altea had an Amazon collection point.

We recently bought an excellent spiral bound Marco Polo Atlas at a stationers in Malaga.

I only navigate by maps, don’t trust satnags.
