Much of the initial list of summits was based on the work of http://www.mendikat.net/modules.php?name=pais&pais=es#mapa The summit database is unlikely to be complete. If you find a summit which you'd like to add to SOTA-EA8, or you find a mistake in this ARM please contact the Association Manager. Activators are asked to submit details of proposed additional summits to the Association Manager. Summits cannot be counted for points until a reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager.
