Michelin Regional 578/Andalucia
 
Can you buy this map in Spain? If so, where? We will be driving from Seville to Ronda and then the pueblos blancos...

Thanks!

Heather--- when are you going? If you have the luxury of time, you can contact Language Quest Traveler at 1-800-622-3574, and they will ship it (price map: approx $9).

Check out the website:

By the way, amazon.com has it on their UK site. I have never ordered from their UK outfit, so I have no idea of shipping, but they do have much more maps options than the US Amazon.com.

Thanks Maira! We are leaving on Wednesday for Europe- I looked at a few websites but the fastest shipping was 2-3 day. I just checked out the link you provided for Language Quest and they ship overnight - perfect! Thanks for the suggestion!

HeatherP,
I'm glad you found your source!
Thanks Maira for the tip for me as well-this is a very convenient source that I didn't know about!
My favorite map store has all os them but doesn't offer them online.

Heather,
to answer your original question in case you want to pick up more Michelins in Spain, you can buy these maps at gas station convenience stores on the autoroutes and also in some book stores. They are a bit cheaper there, but for other European countries I buy mine in the US ahead of my trip. I love maps!

I recently looked for them at the
at the Replay shops at Barajas airport, but there they sell Firestone rather than Michelin. These new regional maps are a god send and have saved us countless hours of time on the road.

Hope you enjoy your exploration of the pueblos blancos. The drive from Zahara de la Sierra over the Puerto de las Palomas pass down to Grazalema is spectacular-a bit white knuckle but amazing, if you're adventurous. And these are 2 wonderfully picturesque perched white towns. Grazalema seems now on the verge of major "discovery" (notice the huge El Fuerte hotel taking up one side of the mountain outside of town), so you can say you've seen it still relatively unspoiled.
