If the blue boys say it is OK, I will get it done.
I don't see why not. We have France 1789 with French names, I believe the Iberia map has the names in the respective languages. Also Nordic countries does the same thing. thenobodies80 can correct me, but as long as the names are readable, then there should not be a problem. Just please don't try a map with oriental characters in the legend and the map!

it would help having a more contrasted graphic

retiro park is the only region name in english, while the rest are all in spanish, so it makes sense to change this to spanish too.
there are too many shades of blue representing the river and various lakes. why not have just one?

as i explained earlier, i believe that parroquia means parish church, of which there are many in madrid and los sacramentinos has no better claim to this word than any other. in fact, searching for parroquia madrid on google finds santa cristina, which is elsewhere on our map, and many other churches, but not the one we want!
the water certainly looks less confusing now, except the eponymous lake of the lago de la casa de campo region is too close to the river and almost exactly the same width, so it's no longer identifiable as a lake.

I don't know about the region colours for the CB test...there could be confusion in there
pamoa wrote:quick drop by and 2 remarks for improving yours graphics
no offence but personally I found cheap and ugly the coloured outline effect around your fonts
at least try a drop shadow or a fading outline
or maybe colour inside and a thin black outline
orange border north around the lake is different from the one below
keep going
