Spanish Autonomous Communities Quiz

Learn Spain’s 17 autonomous communities

This quiz tests Spain’s first-level regions, not its 50 provinces. Catalonia, Andalusia and Castile and León are autonomous communities; Barcelona, Seville and León are provinces within them. You will also find single-province communities such as La Rioja and the Community of Madrid.

Start with Galicia in the northwest and Andalusia in the south, then place the two Castiles across the interior. Along the northern coast, work east from Asturias through Cantabria to the Basque Country.

Islands count too

The Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands in the Atlantic are both included. The Canary Islands are repositioned closer to the mainland on this map for readability; their real location is farther southwest, off the coast of northwestern Africa. Pan and zoom to explore the smaller islands. Ceuta and Melilla are autonomous cities, not autonomous communities, and are not answers in this 17-region round.

We use familiar English names where available: Andalusia is Andalucía, Catalonia is Cataluña or Catalunya, and Navarre is Navarra. The challenge is to recognise each area, rather than memorise a particular spelling.
