    Off to Noja Cantabria via Santander in 2 weeks.
    I am just an old fashioned map man and have decided against sat nav for numerous reasons.
    Can anyone recommend a good O / S type map of the region that is waterproof and tough enough to be upto the job?

    Your best bet is a Michelin 1:150,000 touring map. To waterproof it use a zipper poly bag or get a cheapo tank bag with map pocket to refer on the move. Plenty of online suppliers.

    I should add if you get a big enough bag you do your map fold for the day so never need open it in the rain.......unless you enjoy fighting rolls of Fablon!

    Fablon is the best way to waterproof it, downside it makes it awkward to handle.

    I bought these touring maps for Germany a couple of years ago. 15 maps in all but they are "wasserfest" and you can write on them and wipe it off. Maybe they do a similar set for Spain? I bought them in Germany but try the internet. 2017-06-24 14.00.17.jpg
