Comunidades Autónomas

Comunidades Autónomas are regions in Spain with a degree of self-government, similar to states or provinces in other countries. Each has its own government, parliament, and certain powers over areas like education, health, and transportation. They were created to recognize Spain’s diverse cultures, languages, and histories, allowing local authorities to manage regional interests while remaining part of the national government. This regional structure helps balance national unity with local identity, promoting governance that is closer to the people it serves.
