MAPS
INSET: THE VALENCIA REGION
Note that tranways are not shown on the regional map.
I created the above maps by overlaying OpenStreetMap (OSM) maps with my own data. The underlying map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL).
Please note that the OSM maps used as a template for these maps corresponds to the situation at the time the map was downloaded and may show features that did not exist at the time the GS Tram Site is supposed to show. In particular, it may show bridges and highways that were built later.
ABBREVIATIONS ON THE MAP

| CP | Carrer de la Pau | PA | Plaça de l'Ajuntament |
| CQ | Carrer de Quart | PM | Porta de la Mar |

Note: All names of streets, squares and localities are in Catalan (also known as Valencian in Valencia). In 1964, only Spanish-language geographical names were allowed in Spain, but for consistency with later maps of Valencia I use Catalan (Valencian) names only.
