Regions in Spain By: Hadeel Ahmed
Formal Region Spain is broken up into 17 regions these regions are called provinces, provinces served mainly as transmission belts for policies enacted in Madrid, as Spain was a highly centralised state for most of its history. There are 50 provinces in Spain, they were created in 1833 and they were created by Royal Decree. Another type of formal regions in Spain are mountains. The Pyrenees Mountains are a very important mountain in Spain because it separates. The Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe.
Functional Region Some of the Functional Regions in Spain are Madrid and Barcelona they are the more common in the middle of the country because of large factories, Another type of functional Region in spain that is popular are the beaches in spain such as Playa de Ses illetes, Cala Comte, Playa de Bolonia and one of the most prettiest beach in my perspective is the Playa de las Catedrales.

Why they are functional The reason why the beaches are functional is because they attract tourism and usually when people come and visit spain they are tourist and they like to experience the culture of spain so they are willing to spend lots of money to go and buy food, and go to dance clubs and they go to beaches which have boardwalks which make lots of money so that is why beaches help spain in a economical way as well. The factories are also a functional region because they bring a lot of money to the cities of Madrid and Barcelona by producing Items then selling these Items which helps these cities majorly economically.
Perceptual region A Perceptual Region are human feelings and attitudes about areas. So when people think about spain they usually think about soccer because Spain is home to one of the most ed teams in the world and has the largest social media following in the world among sports team this team is FC BARCELONA a soccer team. Nicknames for this team are Barça, Barcelona, Blaugrana.
Perceptual region part 2 Catalonia was an independent region of the Iberian Peninsula and they now want independent of spain they are basically their own country they have there own language, laws and customs. “The Catalan region has long been the industrial heartland of Spain – first for its maritime power and trade in goods such as textiles, but recently for finance, services and hi-tech companies.” It is one of the most wealthiest regions of spain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y9Pl1sxBkM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BTI_wCIwKo
