Summary

Spain, like most countries, has a unitary national government but also has a series of subnational jurisdictions.  In most countries, these might be known as states or provinces; however, in Spain, they do things a little differently.  The political divisions in Spain aren’t arbitrary lines on a map. The divisions are usually based on unique histories, as well as cultural, linguistic, and geographic differences.  Learn more about the political and cultural geography of Spain and the various regions that comprise it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
