Where do these elevations come from?

From Spain’s National Geographic Institute (IGN): the elevation of each population center (IGR Poblaciones) for cities and the official figure for each summit. For 41 cities the published figure didn’t match the terrain or referred to a point far from the center, so we use the ground height in the IGN’s MDT05 terrain model at the town’s reference point, and the page says so.
