	This quiz was hard, only got Madrid, Balaeric Islands, and Canary Islands. As this quiz joins Germany, Austria, Italy, Japan, China, Australia, USA, Mexico, Brazil, and Canada for regions/states/provinces, whats next? France? India? South Africa?

	Thankgod for football that I even managed to get achieve 4.

	jmarshallg:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 05:26 GMT	21 points
	Catalunya should work for Catalonia since it's the Catalan name for it and that is the language spoken in the region.

	Very good quizz! If I can make a suggestion I'd like to see a geographical quizz on France :) Carry on,sporcle!

	I'll take 3 as an American... only one I've been to is Andalucia (go Sevilla FC!)

	steeltown:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 06:03 GMT	7 points
	the history major came in handy-- Katherine of Aragon, somebody of Navarre--- but I still only got 8.

	Love these quizzes! Keep 'em coming! India, France, Turkey, heck if you want a real challenge, do Russia!

	I'm so glad to see this quiz!My family is from Spain,but I grew up in Los Angeles,so it was relatively easy for me,but it's nice to have a refresher...

	Kitnaz:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 06:44 GMT	0 points
	I got better than I thought... Four... But i've only been to Spain once and normally on these quizzes I list the places i've been...

	radish:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 07:02 GMT	0 points
	I got 8, I thought I'd do better but I forgot the "second names" for the Castillas.

	I didn't make double figures but I was pleasantly surprised that I had heard of all the ones I missed — I was expecting a big pile of `huh?'

	Fixial:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 08:37 GMT	1 point
	I got four.. my High School Spanish teacher would be ashamed..

	Normally rubbish at these quizes but Spanish politics at college has helped!

	y2jdilemma:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 10:10 GMT	0 points
	7 and Im happy with that. Combination UEFA/history got me there. Otherwise, I'd have only known Madrid.

	Can País Vasco or even Euskadi be accepted as well for the Basque Country

	Uhlan:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 11:18 GMT	-2 points
	Damn, I didn't think Aragon and Castile were still around!

	carlosaurus:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 11:31 GMT	8 points
	The official name of the Basque Country in Spanish is La Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco, so País Vasco should be accepted at the very least.

	Lauro:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 11:35 GMT	1 point
	9, not bad. Playing the boardgame El Grande several years ago helped me a lot in this quiz.

	valenciaACE:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 12:16 GMT	4 points
	only missed Comunidad Autónoma Vasca, though I typed País Vasco, which really should be accepted. At least that's how they normally call it in Spain.

	BentKangaroo:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 14:37 GMT	3 points
	Should have got Aragon. Henry's first missus was from there!

I just guessed different wine regions, but that only gave me valencia, la mancha, navarra, and rioja. Other wine regions weren't on there such as ribera del duero. In France, the wine regions and the 'autonomous communities' are pretty much one and the same. Champagne, Burgundy, Rhone, Alsace, etc.

	FrittyZ:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 15:34 GMT	12 points
	suprised nobody has mentioned the absence of ceuta and melila....

	Terps:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 15:43 GMT	3 points
	I think Leon-Castile should count, that was what it was for a long time.

	Havok3595:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 16:12 GMT	0 points
	I agree with Davidr. I didn't do very well, but was happy I had heard of most of them.

	zalagreensbury:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 17:13 GMT	0 points
	this wasn't as hard as I thought it was gonna be...thank you 'Man from La Mancha' all that kitschy singing was actually edumacational.

	win:	Jun 6th, 2009 at 21:57 GMT	3 points
	Yeah, FrittyZ. If the criteria for this game is autonomias then ceuta and melilla should definately be included. They're as much an integral part of Spain as the Canary Islands

	zifyoip:	Jun 7th, 2009 at 05:03 GMT	4 points
	I was going to comment about Ceuta and Melilla too, but Wikipedia says that they are "autonomous cities" (ciudades autónomas), whose status is between regular cities and autonomous communities. Since this quiz specifically asks for the autonomous communities of Spain, Ceuta and Melilla are rightly not included.

	I got a surprising number from knowing a mix of football (soccer) clubs, big cities in Spain, and regions that are famous for wine or tourism. Still tough but I like it when quizzes are challenging :-)

	Wendy-Bird:	Jun 7th, 2009 at 11:17 GMT	2 points
	Yeah, 7! I felt silly typing Madrid but now I am vindicated.

	tophats:	Jun 7th, 2009 at 22:24 GMT	1 point
	Thank you, Spanish II for forcing me to memorize these. It's been four years but I still managed enough not to make myself feel thoroughly ashamed, especially since I'm going to study there next year. Nice quiz :)

	Being a Formula One fan helped me get "Asturias", Fernando Alonso's home province. :-)

	Dubliner :	Jun 8th, 2009 at 20:42 GMT	1 point
	Got 7 but knew all the rest apart from La Rioja ? . There are three Galicias in Europe (Spain, Poland and Turkey ) What does Extremadura mean ? Sounds like a tough place to live ? Great quiz btw

	floondi:	Jun 12th, 2009 at 06:26 GMT	4 points
	I got La Mancha because that's where Don Quixote is from!

	becca:	Jun 21st, 2009 at 23:53 GMT	0 points
	i got them all because we just did a big project in spanish class about the regions of spain. i'm pretty pumped this was up here

	FishyInSpain:	Jul 9th, 2009 at 22:14 GMT	2 points
	I am SHOCKED by how many spanish people can't do this even with the map... A lot of my students had never heard of Murcia despite living in Granada a whole 3hrs away

	kazasik16:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 17:48 GMT	1 point
	got 15/17 not bad for a 13 year old - got aragon from shakespeare plays in english - don pedro of aragon. thought of the three main languages (apart from spanish) and their regions - galicia, basque, catalonia

	FishyInSpain:	Dec 25th, 2009 at 14:55 GMT	4 points
	Euskadi should be accepted for País Vasco, it´s the local name

	FishyInSpain:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 19:49 GMT	3 points
	Ceuta and Melilla are autonomous cities WITHIN the CCAA of Andalucia. Andalucia is made up of 8 provinces and 2 ciudades autonomas

	EmperorAtahualpa:	Jan 15th, 2010 at 21:30 GMT	0 points
	I got them all!! Wow my brains must be in good shape today. :)

	CFValencia:	Jun 28th, 2010 at 00:14 GMT	3 points
	This one was too easy - for a better challenge can we have one for the 50 Spanish Provinces and autonomous cities?
