HOW IS SPAIN ORGANISED?

Spain's 1978 Constitution established the organisation of the regions. It divided Spain's territory into 17 autonomous communities and 2 autonomous cities, Ceuta and Melilla, which are in North Africa.
There are 50 provinces.
Each autonomous community has its own Statute of Autonomy. The Statute of Autonomy defines:
  • The territory of each autonomous community.
  • The governmental institutions.
  • Its official language(s), flag, coat of arms and anthem.
An autonomous community is subdivided into:
  • A regional parliament, which has legislative powers.
  • A government, which has executive powers.
  • A Superior Court of Justice, which has judicial powers.
