Frequently asked questions
Can I use it in class?
Yes, it’s free. Print it, copy it and hand it out as many times as you like. If you post it on a blog or a class website, credit “Mapsfera · data IGN (CC BY 4.0)”.
How do I print it on US Letter paper?
Choose A4 and click “Download PDF”. In the print window, pick Letter and “Fit to page” (or “Scale to fit”). The margins are wide enough that nothing gets cut off.
What order are the numbers in?
Alphabetical, from 1 to the last one. That makes the key easy to follow when you grade, and it’s the same key the worksheet’s answer page uses.
Why are the Canary Islands in a box?
The islands lie in the Atlantic, far southwest of mainland Spain. Drawing them in place would make the map much bigger and everything else smaller, so Spanish maps show them in an inset. If you don’t need them, choose “Leave out”.
How many provinces does Spain have?
50. The map has 52 numbers because Ceuta and Melilla are shown too, although they are autonomous cities, not provinces.
