Geological Map of Spain and Portugal 1:1 000 000 scale
The geological map of Spain and Portugal at 1:1 000 000 scale is a renewed version of the geological map of the Iberian Peninsula and the territories of Ceuta, Melilla and the Balearic, Canaries, Azores and Madeira islands. This small-scale map is edited jointly periodically by the Geological surveys of Spain (IGME) and Portugal (LNEG). This new version includes for the first time the geological information of the Spanish and Portuguese continental shelves and also the geology of the Atlantic Portuguese islands. This map records all the new geological knowledge provided by the complete survey at 1:50 000 scale in Spain (IGME’s MAGNA Plan) and the systematic geological mapping series developed in Portugal by the LNEG. The continental portion of the map was compiled starting from original drafts at 1:400 000 scale made for every main geological unit: Iberian Variscan Massif, Pyrenees, Betics, Cantabrian and Iberian cordilleras and the Duero, Ebro and Tajo Cenozoic basins for the territory of Spain and the geological maps at 1:200 000 scale in Portugal.

This map represents an update of the geological map of the Iberian Peninsula and all the island territories of Spain and Portugal at 1:1 000 000 scale. This is the result of the improvement of the geological knowledge represented by the completion of the geological survey at 1:50 000 scale in Spain (IGME’s MAGNA Plan) and the systematic geological mapping series developed in Portugal by the LNEG. It includes for the first time the geological map of the Spanish and Portuguese continental shelves and also the geology of the Atlantic Portuguese islands.

Data Quality
The geological map of Spain and Portugal at 1:1 000 000 scale has been compiled from different sources. The continental portion of the map was compiled starting from original synthesis maps at 1:400 000 scale made for every main geological unit: Iberian Massif, Pyrenees, Betics , Cantabrian and Iberian cordilleras and the Duero, Ebro and Tajo Cenozoic basins for the territory of Spain and the geological maps at 1:200 000 scale in Portugal. A team of experts for each of these units has simplified the original information and compiled it accordingly to a unified legend created for the whole map. The cartography of the island areas was compiled starting from original IGME geological maps of various scales and from geological maps at 1:25 000 and 1:50 000 scales in the case of the Portuguese Atlantic islands. The geological map of the continental margin has been compiled from different cartographic sources of different scales: geological maps of the Spanish continental margin at 1:200 000 scale and the Geological map of the Quaternary at 1:1 000 000 scale, published by the IGME; the geological map of Portugal at 1:1 000 000 scale (LNEG-LGM), including the new version of the Geological map of the Portuguese continental margin at 1:2 000 000 scale. These maps have been complemented with geological data obtained in oceanographic campaigns developed in various research projects in which the IGME and the LNEG were involved and from the project of Spanish Extended Continental Shelf submitted to United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea UNCLOS.
