The court, without leaving their rooms or the thresholds of the court, strolling around the world, looking at a map, without Costa Blanca, or suffer heat or cold, hunger or thirst, but we, the true knights, sun, cold, air, weather, night and day on foot and horseback, we measured the whole earth with our very feet ...

Part II, Chapter VI (1730)
The purpose of this paper is to explain in the least dry as possible, which are the vertices surveying, where they are and to serve.
is not much less give a kind of mapping, nor is this the right forum, it is to present a cartographic symbols of universal interest and bring them in addition to regular users to the entire general public, so that milestones constitute not only scientific, but with activities for hikers and nature lovers.
The first map is the oldest known where it appears the Iberian Peninsula, is the celebrated map of Ptolemy II century. Ptolemy was the author the first universal atlas cartographers, and like all Greeks had advanced knowledge of geography, even before Jesus Christ and admitted the spherical Earth. This map was reproduced many times even in XV and XVI centuries in the West as it was known until 1477. Ptolemy atlas which was used by Christopher Columbus for his voyage of discovery project.
Considering the difficulties and limitations of old, we can not but admire the genius of the Greeks. Ptolemy marked the climax of the Ancient World Mapping, in addition to this atlas, he devised a theory of planetary motion and made a star catalog.
Ptolemy I stood at this map and ARUCCI CORTICATA populations, the old people that some historians identify as Cortegana and Aroche.
The second map is the famous "Wish to those who want to travel the world" by The Edrisi that in 1154 it was published. Was a feature in the Islamic world, guide maps with the North down as Spain is almost unrecognizable as well just look at something to that now well known. This map is a masterpiece made by the author of "Direct observation and not on the books"
The Edrisi drew on their maps a parallel network in little or no unlike the one we use today. It was definitely the best cartographer of the Arab world.
Without so many names, yet He does not stop drawing the Sierra Edrisi between the rivers Guadiana and Guadalquivir, ie the highlands.
The next map we draw a peninsula more similar to today but with a very distorted shape yet despite attempts made by the first geodesic. It's the end of the sixteenth century and is known as the Atlas of El Escorial which commissioned the King Felipe II to Pedro Esquivel. ...............(

not write most of this paper which you can find on the net, if you are interested. I send the map image with the vertices surveying.
