And Ibycus Topo

And GpsFileDepot.

And there's probably more that could be added.

As an extension to Openstreetmap, I recommend Opentopomap. It has the same trail data as Openstreetmap, but adds contour lines, which can be quite handy when hiking.

However, I recommend to never hike on a GPS alone. Bring a paper map from the Spanish IGN. You'll get more overview, and a GPS can break or run out of battery.
