Spain is divided into 17 autonomous communities (comunidades autonomas, singular - comunidad autonoma) and 2 autonomous cities* (ciudades autonomas, singular - ciudad autonoma). Autonomous communities are larger jurisdictions found within Spain and may contain several provinces. An autonomous community is both a political and administrative division. The autonomous communities of Spain were created in 1978. To learn more about them please read Autonomous Communities of Spain.
