Barcelona map poster
Barcelona sits between the Collserola ridge and the Mediterranean, with the Eixample district's famous grid laid out in 1859 by Ildefons Cerdà. The grid's distinctive chamfered corners were designed to improve visibility and traffic flow at intersections. What surprises most people is that the Eixample was originally controversial: residents thought the octagonal blocks were a waste of space.

Frequently asked about Barcelona posters
What size is the Barcelona map poster?
The Barcelona map poster measures 30×40cm (roughly 12×16 inches), a standard poster size that fits most ready-made frames available at IKEA, high street shops, and online retailers.
What paper is the Barcelona poster printed on?
All Barcelona posters are printed on 200gsm archival matte paper with UV-resistant pigment inks. The paper is FSC-certified and the inks are rated for decades of display without noticeable fading.
Can I frame the Barcelona map poster?
Yes. The 30×40cm size is a standard frame size. You can find affordable frames at most home goods stores. The poster ships rolled in a sturdy tube and will flatten easily under light pressure or in a frame.
What is the difference between the Barcelona colourways?
The Barcelona poster is available in 11 colourways: from high-contrast Noir (black streets on white) to coastal Swell (teal tones) and electric Strip (neon-inspired). Each colourway uses the same map data but applies a different colour palette to streets, water, green spaces, and background. You can see all 11 on the Barcelona poster page.
How is the Barcelona poster made?
Each Barcelona poster is generated from OpenStreetMap data and rendered as a clean vector map. It is printed on demand when you order, which means no inventory waste and a fresh print every time.
Does the Barcelona poster show landmarks?
The poster focuses on the street network, waterways, and green spaces of Barcelona rather than individual landmarks. It is designed as an abstract city portrait where the street layout itself is the subject.
