1. POLITICAL MAP OF SPAIN.
• Spain is a country on the European continent.
• It lies between two large bodies of water: the
Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
• Most of its territory is located on the Iberian
Peninsula, although it also consists of two
archipelagos (the Islas Canarias and the Islas
Baleares) and two cities in North Africa: Ceuta
and Melilla. Besides, other smaller islands are part of
Spanish territory: the Chafarinas Islands, the Alhucemas
Islands and Alborán Island.
• Spain is organised into 17 Autonomous
Communities and 2 autonomous cities. The
Autonomous Communities are divided into
provinces (50), which are made up of
municipalities.
AUTONOMUS COMMUNITIES
WHY IS THE SPANISH STATE ORGANIZED IN THIS WAY?
 Because of the Spanish Constitution of 1978. It regulates the form of the state and
the main characteristics of the territorial organisation.
 Title VIII: The territorial organization of the State. Principles around which the
territorial organization of Spain is established. Some articles:
– “Artículo 137: El Estado se organiza territorialmente en municipios, en provincias y en las
Comunidades Autónomas que se constituyan […]”.
– “Artículo 139: Todos los españoles tienen los mismos derechos y obligaciones en cualquier
parte del territorio del Estado […]”.
– “Artículo 141: La provincia es una entidad local con personalidad jurídica propia,
determinada por la agrupación de municipios […]”.
– “Artículo 155: Si una Comunidad Autónoma no cumpliere las obligaciones
que la Constitución […], o actuare de forma que atente gravemente al interés
general de España, el Gobierno, previo requerimiento al Presidente de la
Comunidad Autónoma y, en el caso de no ser atendido, con la aprobación por
mayoría absoluta del Senado, podrá adoptar las medidas necesarias para obligar
a aquélla al cumplimiento forzoso de dichas […]”.
