Spain Topographic Relief Map | B0 Portrait Print (1030 x 1456 mm)

The Meseta plateau, the Pyrenees, the Sierra Nevada, the Ebro. Spain's food, its wine and its languages all grew out of this relief. We built a topographic map of the entire country from raw satellite elevation data and printed it at B0 portrait, 1030 x 1456 mm. It was designed for the walls of Spanish restaurants and bars, wine shops and wine schools. Hang it and it takes over the wall. Step closer and you can follow a single minor tributary. It works as decoration and as a reference at the same time.

Built from satellite elevation data

The base is 30 m resolution elevation data from Europe's Copernicus programme. This is not an existing map that has been retouched. Colour and hillshading were computed from the raw elevation model, and every river was traced reach by reach, from source to mouth, out of a global hydrographic database. A hypsometric palette running from green lowlands to brown highlands is layered with obliquely lit shading, so the terrain lifts off a flat sheet.

The projection is ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (EPSG:3035), the European standard. Because area is preserved, you can compare one region against another by eye and trust what you see.

Not just large. Resolved edge to edge.

The scale is roughly 1:1,140,000, so 100 km measures about 88 mm on the sheet. B0 is what makes the detail possible: not only the great trunk rivers but their tributaries and the small watercourses too. The Ebro and the Guadalquivir of course, but also rivers such as the Jiloca and the Alberche that disappear from ordinary maps.

Sixty-nine landforms are numbered in total: 60 mountain ranges, plateaus, plains, depressions and rivers on the main map, plus 9 in the Canary Islands inset. All of them are listed in a bilingual Spanish and Japanese index set in the margin. Match a number to the index and you reach the name without needing to read Spanish. The 17 autonomous communities are labelled in both Spanish and Japanese as well. The Balearic Islands sit inside the main frame; the Canary Islands appear in an inset at the same scale, with each island's volcanic relief intact.

Data precision and print resolution are matched, so the sheet reads as a single image from across the room and as a working map up close. None of the soft edges or banding you get from an upscaled picture.

A map for talking about wine

When you explain Spanish wine, terrain is the strongest tool you have. Why are the vines of Ribera del Duero exposed to such violent day to night temperature swings? Why do the whites of Rias Baixas carry a saline edge? Why do the vineyards of Priorat cling to those slopes? Every answer sits in elevation, in the position of the mountains, in the distance from the sea.

What a list of appellation names cannot convey, a relief map conveys instantly. You can point and say "here". Showing the land itself is the fastest explanation, and the one people remember. If you would like to taste the regions you have just found on the map, our Spanish wine selection is the place to start.

For the wall that runs tall

B0 portrait (1030 x 1456 mm) fits the walls that have height but no width: beside an entrance, between two windows, along a staircase, on the return of a column. It was designed for Spanish restaurants and bars, wine shops and wine schools. The muted earth palette sits well against wood, white plaster, brick or tile, and it never competes with the colour of the food or the wine.

It also earns its place as a conversation starter. A guest sits down, studies the map, looks for a region, asks a question. That exchange closes the distance between your venue and the person in front of you.

For a wall that runs wide instead, above a counter, behind a row of banquettes or over a blackboard, the same map is available as the B0 landscape print (1456 x 1030 mm). Same content, same scale, only the orientation differs.

Pair it with the appellation map

This map tells you why. The Spain Wine Appellation (GI) Map, B0 portrait tells you where. It carries all 149 Spanish geographical indications, 106 DOP and 43 IGP, built from the legislation.

The two share a projection (EPSG:3035) and a scale (approx. 1:1,140,000), so the same place falls in the same position on both. Find Ribera del Duero on the appellation map, then confirm on this one that it sits on a plateau at 800 metres. Move between the two and it becomes obvious that a wine style is a consequence of geography. Hung side by side they span 2060 mm.

How it was made

This map is an original work produced in house by Daniel's Wine Club. Open elevation and hydrographic data were acquired and then every stage was built from the ground up: reprojection, hillshade computation, river tracing and the placement of every label. Our maps and reference material are gathered in the wine books and maps collection.

About the two finishes

Heavyweight matte coated paper
A coated stock with the gloss taken off the surface, giving it a soft, substantial texture in the hand. Colours stay rich, and the result feels refined and quiet. Because it barely catches the light, the labels stay readable even on a lit wall.

Heavyweight matte coated paper with matte lamination
The same stock with a matte film laminated over the surface. The matte character is unchanged, but resistance to moisture, fingerprints, scuffing and UV fading improves considerably. For restaurants and classrooms, where people come close, hands touch the sheet and it stays up for years, this is the one to choose.

Delivery

Each print is made to order. We print after your order is placed and ship in 7 to 10 business days. The print is never folded. It travels rolled inside a rigid cardboard tube.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose the portrait or the landscape edition?

Choose by the shape of your wall. The content, the scale and the number of landforms are identical. For a tall narrow space, by an entrance, between two windows or beside a column, take this portrait edition. For a wall that runs wide, above a counter, behind banquettes or over a blackboard, take the landscape edition.

Is a frame included?

No. You receive the print only; no frame is supplied. Some of the product photographs show the map framed and hung in a room, but that is for reference. Poster hangers, magnetic rails or mounting to a panel all look excellent. If you would like a frame for a B0 portrait sheet, a local framer can advise you.

Is this suitable for the interior of a Spanish restaurant or bar?

Yes. The size and the palette were chosen for exactly that. B0 is large enough to make a wall work, and the muted earth tones sit comfortably against wood, white plaster, brick or tile. For a venue where it will hang for years, choose the laminated finish.

Can it be used as teaching material in a wine school?

Yes. With 69 numbered landforms and a bilingual index, you can point to a number during a class. Elevation, mountain ranges, rivers and distance from the sea, the geographic conditions that shape a wine, are all explained from a single sheet.

Are the wine appellation (D.O.) boundaries drawn on it?

No. This map is dedicated to terrain, so D.O. and D.O.Ca. boundaries are not shown. It is not a map of the appellations themselves; it is a map for explaining why the appellations are where they are. Regions are meant to be read against the context of mountains, rivers and elevation. If it is the appellation boundaries you are after, see the Spain Wine Appellation (GI) Map, which carries all 149 DOP and IGP and is drawn at the same scale, so the two work together.

What is the difference between the two options?

The paper is the same heavyweight matte coated stock in both. The higher option adds a matte laminate film over the surface. The look and feel barely change, but resistance to moisture, fingerprints, scuffing and fading increases substantially. For a dining room or a classroom, where the print stays up a long time, the laminated version is the better fit.

How long does delivery take?

Because each print is made to order, we ship in about 7 to 10 business days. The sheet is rolled, never folded, and posted in a rigid tube.
