This handsome map covers the Cordillera Cantabrica region on the northwest coast of Spain. It is roughly centered on Leon and shows a small portion of Portugal around Braganca. The major cities included are Lugo, Oviedo, Leon, Burgos, Palencia, Lerma, and Valladoilid. The coat of arms above the decorative cartouche is held by two fierce lions. Further embellishing the map are a compass rose and a fancy scale of miles cartouche with an armillary sphere. German text on verso.
