Usage Note

Detallado is the past participle of detallar (to detail) used as an adjective. It describes reports, instructions, maps, or descriptions that are comprehensive and specific. The noun detalle (detail) is very common in everyday Spanish, especially in the phrase qué detalle ('what a thoughtful gesture'), which has drifted away from the core meaning of a small element.
