The mountain ranges
The map shows 11 mountain ranges: the nine first-category systems in the IGN’s list plus the Basque Mountains and the Serra de Tramuntana, which Spanish textbooks teach separately. The highest on the mainland is the Baetic System, topped by Mulhacén (3,479 m / 11,414 ft); Spain’s highest peak, Mount Teide (3,715 m / 12,188 ft), is on Tenerife, in the Canary Islands inset.
Each range’s highest peak is marked with a triangle; the labeled version adds its name and elevation: Mulhacén (3,479 m), Aneto (3,404 m), Torre Cerredo (2,649 m), Almanzor (2,591 m), Moncayo (2,314 m), and Teleno (2,183 m) and 5 more.
How the map is made
Mountain range outlines come from the IGN’s digital terrain model (1 km): an area counts as mountainous if it meets the UNEP-WCMC world mountain map criterion (Kapos et al., 2000), based on elevation, slope and relief within 7 km, and each area goes to the system of the peaks and ranges the IGN assigns to it. Elevations are from the IGN’s table of main summits.
