Streetwise Barcelona Map - Laminated City Center Street Map of Barcelona, Spain - Folding pocket size travel map with metro map including lines & stationsUser Review: - Accurate and tough the Streetwise MapThe Streetwise Biblao was sure a helop to me as a tourist. Bilbao is a city in which few speak English (even at the hotels) and I found the map a godsend. It was to scale and accurate even as to the difficult Basque spelling of words. I had another map with me (It will go un-named) and it was a joke. I've come to rely on Streetwise over the years and have neve been disapointed except when they don't have a title for the city I'm visiting. User Review:  - oldThis map is generally useful and the plastic format is very convenient, but although this site says the map is c. 2001, the map I got was a 1996 version, and therefore missing some significant developments since then, e.g., the Raval Rambla. User Review: - This map is missing detailIn engineering we learn that when you optimize for one feature you sometimes have to give up other features, or scale them back. Perhaps this is the issue with this map. The Streetwise map of Barcelona is designed so that it will easily fit in your pocket or purse. It is plastic or plasticized paper, so it is sturdy. But what is lost is detail. For example, the street in the Ravel where I will be renting an apartment is not shown on the map. The map does show the subway and bus routes which is nice too. But if you need detail, you need another map. I highly recommend the Rough Guide maps. They are detailed and very tough. My survived daily use for two weeks.
