Zaragoza, Salamanca, Segovia and Tarragona, mapped for visitors to 1950s Spain, feature in these maps from Blue Guide - Northern Spain, edited by L. Russell Muirhead and published by Ernest Benn in 1958. The guide ranges far beyond the northern coast: plans of Valladolid, Santander and Gijón sit beside Barcelona and the Balearic islands. Made to accompany city descriptions and regional itineraries, the sheets give prominence to streets, principal buildings and approaches, and show the cities before later redevelopment and the arrival of mass tourism.
