Before flying off to his language study trip to Spain, it’s a good idea to have a basic understanding of Spain’s autonomous communities! They are similar to France’s regions, and there are 17 of them. Today, LEC is here to list them for you, ranked by area (from largest to smallest).
Castile and León
It is the largest region in the entire Iberian Peninsula.
Andalusia
Symbolisée par Grenade, à visiter pendant un séjour linguistique en Espagne avec LEC, l’Andalousie occupe le sud du pays.
Castile-La Mancha
Il s’agit d’une très vaste région au centre du pays : elle ne donne ni sur l’océan l’Atlantique, ni sur la mer Méditerranée.
Aragon
It overlooks the central region of the Pyrenees.
Extremadura
It is home to Cáceres, whose old town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986.
Catalonia
The most famous city in Catalonia? Barcelona, which you can explore during a language study trip to Spain with LEC.
