Spain Topographic Relief Map | B0 Large-Format Print (1000 x 1414 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 (1000 x 1414 mm). 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 landforms, mountain ranges, plateaus, plains and rivers, are numbered on the map, with 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 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.

A piece for the wall of your venue

B0 (1000 x 1414 mm) is large enough to carry an entire wall. 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.

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.

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

We deliver in 7 to 10 business days. The print is never folded. It travels rolled inside a rigid cardboard tube.

Frequently asked questions

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 60 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.

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.

Does it need framing?

Not necessarily. Poster hangers, magnetic rails or mounting to a panel all look excellent. If you would like a B0 frame, a local framer can advise you.

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.

Is there a digital version?

Yes. A high resolution digital edition is available for those who want to print it themselves or use it as a base map for their own design and reference work.

Do you make maps of other countries?

We have also produced topographic maps of Italy, Germany, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria. If you want to compare the wine producing regions of Europe by their terrain, look at those as well.
