HOW'S SPAIN ORGANISED?

You already know that Spain's 1978 Constitution established the organisation of the regions. It divided Spain's territory into autonomous communities. There are 17 autonomous communities and two autonomous cities, Ceuta and Melilla, which are in the North Africa. Autonomous communities are then divided into 50 provinces.

Each autonomous community has its own capital and government. Some communities also have their own language and law code (Statute of Autonomy).
Remember that Spain has four co-oficial languages in addition to Spanish. These are Català, Euskera, Galego and Valencià.
Autonomous communites are responsible for some public services. For example they organise:
- Education
- Healthcare.
- Social services.
- Regional tourism.
