What are the Provinces of Spain?

Spain is divided into 50 provinces, grouped into 17 autonomous communities, plus the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa.

  • The provinces were created in 1833 by minister Javier de Burgos.
  • He divided Spain into 49 provinces, mostly named after their capital cities.
  • The only change came in 1927, when the Canary Islands were split into Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
  • The autonomous communities, created after the 1978 constitution, group these provinces together.
  • Provinces are also used as constituencies in national elections.
