The 19 autonomous communities of Spain
Spain has 19 autonomous communities. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The Spanish name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the Spanish name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the autonomous communities
An autonomous community is the largest unit of local government in Spain. Each one has its own parliament and president.
Two of them are cities in North Africa: Ceuta and Melilla. Each is an autonomous city, which holds slightly fewer powers than a community.
Several communities have a second official language, such as Catalan, Basque or Galician. The quiz accepts the name in that language too.
