Organization of Spanish territory

Autonomous communities

Spain is divided into 17 autonomous communities.
15 are on the Iberian Peninsula.The other two are the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands.
Spain has 2 Autonomous Cities close to Morocco, on the coast of North Africa: Ceuta and Melilla.

Play with the Autonomous Communities

Provinces

Each autonomous community is divided into one or more provinces.
You don´t have to study all the provinces but, have you ever visited any of them? Have a look and think...

Municipalities
Inside the provinces there are villages, towns and cities.
Examples:
- You live in Alcorcón (a town) that belongs to Madrid (a province) that belongs to the Autonomous Community of Madrid.
- Valmojado is a village that belongs to the province of Toledo and to the Autonomous Community of Castile La Mancha.
