Rough Guide Andalucia map lacks detail
I've just spent a week trying to use this map to navigate around the Malaga/Marbella region.
Main junctions seemed too simplified and a major toll road running parallel to the A7 was completely missing.
Other peoples maps on the holiday seemed more detailed.
Perhaps the scale is too much of a compromise ?

Very simplified and inaccurate
I have just come back from a two week holiday in Andalucia and found the map most unhelpful. Although it kept very well despite rough treatment and wet weather exposure (plastic maps are great!) this wasn't any good to us when we got lost on several occasions! The markers indicating distances between places are confusing. Most smaller/tertiary roads and even smaller towns and villages are not even on the map. Most irritating is the absence of numbers on the motorway exits. Would definitely prefer a michelin map which we used with great success elsewhere.

The Rough Guide Map: Andalucia and Costa Del Sol (Rough Guide Map S.)
I disagree with the previous reviewer as I have used this for the past three years and found it to be an excellent map.

That is not to say they are wrong. In the past two years alone, there has been an awful lot of new road building in Andalucia and many road names have been changed. As this was published in 2003 and probably mapped in 2001/2, it is to be expected that it will go out of date.

However, it's greatest quality is the robustness of the polyart paper. Fizzy drinks, wind, sun, dust, suncream and sangria have not been able to touch it during about seven weeks of heavy use, with much folding and refolding.

Now I will always check if there is one of these maps available, because traditional paper maps are fine for one trip and then often fray, but in more temperate climes - northern Europe - a sniff of rain and you have a bag full of papier mache.

In a nutshell, excellent value. There are clearer maps - marginally, Michelin may be better in some areas - but none can withstand the punishment that these will. An excellent product.
