Can I show the autonomous communities instead?

Yes, choose the communities and their capitals in place of the provinces.

Do the small ones get names?

Yes. Where there is no room inside, the name is set outside with a thin line to it, so none is left off; A3 paper gives them more room.

Is there a worksheet version?

Yes — choose “Numbered, to write the names and capitals”: the 50 provinces, Ceuta and Melilla are numbered (52) and pupils write each name and capital. On A4 or Letter the list takes a page of its own, so the PDF has four pages (map, list, answer map, filled-in list); on A3 it fits on two.

Why are most capitals not named?

41 of the 50 provincial capitals have the province’s name (Sevilla, Zaragoza, Valencia), so the dot alone shows where the city is. Only the 9 that differ are named: Oviedo, Santander, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Pamplona, Logroño, Palma and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The worksheet’s answer list gives all 52.

Spain’s 50 provinces with capitals: 9 named, 41 share the province’s name

A Spanish teacher wants a provinces map for a unit on Spain. The page draws the 50 provinces plus Ceuta and Melilla, each named, with a dot for every capital and Madrid’s ringed. A capital is named only where its name differs from the province’s: 9 of them. The other 41 provinces (Sevilla, Valencia, Zaragoza…) have a dot alone, as the name already says it.

The provinces carry their Spanish or regional names: Sevilla, Navarra, Illes Balears, Bizkaia, A Coruña.
The Canary Islands are in a box at the bottom left: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and Las Palmas, whose name goes on a short leader line.
On A4 the sheet is landscape and every name fits; A3 gives the small Basque provinces more room.

Province (as labelled)	Capital named on the map
Asturias	Oviedo
Cantabria	Santander
Bizkaia	Bilbao
Gipuzkoa	San Sebastián
Álava	Vitoria-Gasteiz
Navarra	Pamplona
La Rioja	Logroño
Illes Balears	Palma
Las Palmas	Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

One page, spain-provinces-map.pdf, with 52 names and 52 capital dots. For the 17 communities choose “Main divisions” under Divisions: Seville, Valladolid, Toledo, Mérida and the other community capitals are then named.

How it works

The map names the provinces of Spain and marks each capital with a dot; the 9 capitals whose name differs from the province’s (Bilbao, Pamplona…) are named too.
Choose the paper — A3 leaves more room for the names — or the blank style for a quiz.
Press Make PDF and print; the lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.
