	Guidance welcomed where I can buy (online? mail order?) large scale proper maps with lat and long co-ordinates etc suitable for walking and trecking covering Els Ports. Ordenance Survey quality preferred! But better than 1:50,000. Thanks walkers .

	Have you tried the information office in Els Requers? They have leaflets, books etc. covering Els Ports, so may have large scale maps aswell. A book that you may be interested in for walks is, Mountain Walking in Southern Catalunya, Els Ports and the Mountains of Tarragona, by Philip and Vivien Freakley.

If it was that easy I wouldn´t be asking. And we regulary walk with Viv and Phil when they are in Spain.

	Paul has found this for you, ICGC Institute cartographic eigologic in Catalunya. They have a map 1 -25000 Els Ports nature reserve (53). Price 7.69 plus vat. Brilliant as they have maps for many local areas, including the Delta.

	You could try one of these websites Colin, On this one you can download some trekking routes in Els Ports, the info is in Catalan but there are also some good maps. http://www.terresdelebre.travel/ing/DescobreixNos/TurismeActiuIDAventura/Senderi... This website has excellent books, but once again, in Catalan. http://euro-senders.com/web_eng/index.htm Try this one too http://www.wikiloc.com/trails/hiking/spain/catalonia?src=2&from=10&to=20 Hope it helps
