Wonderful map of the southern portion of Spain, spanning from Rio Guadalquivir in the west to Motril in the east. The very tip of Morocco is shown, with Ceuta. There are two small inset maps of Minorca and Ceuta. Three views run along the bottom featuring Cadiz, the famous Fort of Gibraltar and the port of Malaga. This is a very decorative map with a number of compass roses and a large military-theme cartouche.
