Spain's City and Regional Apps

Let me know…
It's difficult to find city and regional apps with an English-Language option. 

If you stumble upon a city or regional app that I've not included here, 
I'd be grateful if you'd let me know!
Thanks,

Map Apps to View Cities and Regions

Recommendation
Apple and Google regularly add new and useful features to their map apps.
So rather than purchasing a map app, I suggest starting with the apps
that come with your iPhone or Android phone.
(iPhone users can also download the Google maps app.)

Play around with the features…there’s a lot to learn on both apps!

Extraordinary chapel and churches to see in the Asturias region. 

The app has basic descriptions in text or audio. You'll likely want to learn more. This app serves to entice...
Map links show you where the sites are. 

TIP
Play around a bit with the app, it's not the best user-friendly app. But you'll soon see how the few options work. 
The photos in this app are so beautiful that I want to go immediately to Asturias to spend time in these historic sites!
