So, where can one find his/her city coordinates

spanish state geographical institute, region and so on and perhaps
with a GPS user.
1. Look at a good printed map or atlas, visit your library
2. Use a GPS satellite navigator, if you have one
3. Look at a website built by GPS users, e.g.
http://geourl.org/
or
http://www.findu.com/ or
http://www.geocaching.com/
4. Look for "Waypoint" files
5. Google for the city name together with "latitude", "longitude",
which gives hits like
http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001769.html
6. Look at a map website, e.g.
http://www.mapquest.com/ or
http://www.yahoo.com/
7. Look at a wiki that already uses map coordinates, e.g.
http://susning.nu/
No matter where you find coordinates, always look to see if they seem
reasonable. There is a lot of incorrect or inaccurate data out
there...
