This large-scale sea chart is from a very scarce Swedish sea atlas. It is based on the map from Tofino de San Miguel's extremely rare Atlas Maritimo de Espana and covers the strategic strait and the European coastline from Lisbon to Cabo de Gata and the African coastline from Antigua Mamora (approximately Rabat) to just past Melilla. Three detailed insets provide information on Gibraltar Bay, Cadiz and Malaga.
