The map
About this Compostela map poster
Compostela lies in the south of Nayarit, inland from the Pacific coast, in hilly country known for coffee and tobacco growing. Founded in the first decades of Spanish rule, it served for a time as the seat of the kingdom of Nueva Galicia before the capital moved to Guadalajara, a history that still shapes the orderly layout of its centre.
The historic core follows a grid extending from the main plaza and the parish church dedicated to Santiago Apóstol. From above, those regular blocks give way at the edges to looser streets that follow the contours of the terrain, while highways lead away toward Tepic and toward the coast.
A Compostela map poster pairs the clarity of a colonial grid with the softer lines of the surrounding landscape. It appeals to those who know Nayarit well, and to visitors travelling between Tepic and the beaches of the Riviera Nayarit who want a quieter reminder of the region than a coastal view.

Santiago Apóstol church
The parish church stands at the plaza in the heart of the grid, the traditional anchor of the town and the point from which the old streets extend.
Hill country edges
Beyond the centre, streets bend to follow the uneven terrain, and farmland and wooded slopes surround the town, softening the outline of the map.
