Spanish Regions- all about

The range and scope of the respective Autonomous Regional Authorities is determined by the Constitution, with the Constitutional Court designated as the competent body for settling any conflicts which may arise between the Central Administration and the Regions.
Every Region has its Share of Spain´s richly and diverse array of geography, climate and scenery, and, to boost their individual tourist industries, they at times join forces to highlight their common features and attractions. Thus it was that Green Spain came into being, born out of the combined efforts of Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country to enhance the shared traits of their countryside, climate, cuisine and min tourist attractions, namely, sea and mountains, sports and rural tourism.

The best developed sea-and-sun tourist areas are Andalusia, Murcia, the Valencian Region and Catalunia which are endowed with a wide range of top-quality facilities, while other regions of Inland Spain, such as Aragon, Castilla-Leon, Castilla- La Mancha and Extremadura, hold out the promise of historic cities- many of which are officially designated World Heritage sites- artistic and monumental treasures, delicious food and settings of great natural beauty.
Other autonomous regions, such as La Rioja, Madrid and Navarre possess the appeal and charm of towns and villages positively alive with tradition and character, offering the visitor a wealth of cultural and scenic attractions. Island Spain is- without doubt- one of the top tourist destinations:
The Balearic Islands, in the heart of the Mediterranean, offer visitors a splendid coastline for beach-going and water sports, whilst the
Canary Islands lying out in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Africa, are a genuine paradise, with their beaches, volcanic National Parks and exceptional year-round climate.
At present, Spain is made up of seventeen Autonomous Regions and two city enclaves- Ceuta and Melilla- each governed by a Statute of Autonomy.
