It turns out you can actually buy copies of the
railway map of Spain which is hanging outside the booking office in Chamartin station, even though Renfe says you can�t (and they published it!).

I got one yesterday from the Fundacion de Ferrocarriles Espanoles at C/Santa Isabel 44 for
6 euros (and BTW it isn�t in their catalogue).

For those who�ve not seen one, it also shows all protected areas (i.e. national parks and the like) and routes thereto by train, proposed cycle routes along old railways, etc and there�s basic coverage of Portugal too. I think it�s very attractive. Stephen

Would love one of those wall maps.
In case of interest, as many already know, there are 5 regional maps of the Rail network in Spain on: http://www.renfe.es/ingles/empresa/regionales/index.html
I know because I found them very useful.

They also do the maps in a cardboard tube for 13 euros, postage would be extra (I see you�re in Cadiz). It�s called

"Mapa ferroviario y de espacios naturales"

Map size: 120 x 100 cm, date May 2000
Website: www.ffe.es
though as I say the map isn�t in their catalog.
The relevant department is Direccion de Estudios y Programas.
