+How to use political borders from GADM
+---------------------------------------
+
+GADM (https://gadm.org/) is a project that provides spatial data for all countries and their sub-divisions. 
+They allow you to freely use their data (see `license <https://gadm.org/license.html>`_) to make your own maps. 
+You can use this script to download the data from their server.
+You only need to select a data set (using a three-letter code) and a level. 
+Not all levels are available. Check first in their website if the data set exists. 
+Here is a table with the number of file available for each level. 
+
+ ======= ============ 
+  Level   # of files  
+ ======= ============ 
+  0       254         
+  1       230         
+  2       171         
+  3       69          
+  4       21          
+  5       2           
+ ======= ============ 
+
+The script will download the selected data and level in KMZ format. 
+Then, it will unzip that file (to KML) and convert it to a GMT format.
+At the end, you will have a GMT file in the same directory.
+To demostrate, we will create a level 1 map of Mexico (code MEX).
