The DGT places Montoro in the province of Jaén on the informational map of the August bridge

The Spanish Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) published a map during the August 15 bridge operation that incorrectly placed the Cordoba town of Montoro at the center of Jaen province. This geographic error has been criticized by the group 'Jaén Merece Más,' which demands immediate correction and a new map showing the province accurately. The mistake is notable because the map was intended to assist drivers during a high-traffic weekend. The DGT's map is part of their efforts to guide motorists through increased traffic during the summer holiday period.
