Are the provinces included?

This quiz uses the communities; the 50 provinces are on the blank map of Spain to print.

Why are Madrid, Valencia and Murcia not asked from their capitals?

Their capitals share the community's name, as Ceuta's and Melilla's do, so the question would give the answer away. The other 14 are asked; “Choose the capital” asks 17, leaving out only Ceuta and Melilla, which are cities themselves.

Where are the Canary Islands?

In a box in the bottom left corner of the map, as Spanish school maps show them. Click the islands inside the box when the quiz asks for them.

A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.

Example

Spain map quiz: 17 communities plus Ceuta and Melilla, 14 asked by capital

A student of Spanish learning the autonomous communities plays “Find the place”: 19 questions — the 17 communities and the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, which carry a circle. The Canary Islands sit in a box in the bottom left corner. “Find it from its capital” asks 14 of them.

Capitals that catch people out: Mérida for Extremadura, Santiago de Compostela for Galicia, Vitoria-Gasteiz for the Basque Country, Toledo for Castilla–La Mancha, Valladolid for Castile and León.
The Canary Islands have two capitals, so the question names both: “Santa Cruz de Tenerife / Las Palmas de Gran Canaria”.
“Choose the capital” asks 17, Madrid, Valencia and Murcia included, with four capitals to choose from; Ceuta and Melilla, cities of their own, are left out.

Community	Capital	Asked from its capital
Galicia	Santiago de Compostela	yes
Asturias	Oviedo	yes
Cantabria	Santander	yes
Basque Country	Vitoria-Gasteiz	yes
Navarre	Pamplona	yes
La Rioja	Logroño	yes
Aragon	Zaragoza	yes
Catalonia	Barcelona	yes
Castile and León	Valladolid	yes
Community of Madrid	Madrid	no
Castilla–La Mancha	Toledo	yes
Extremadura	Mérida	yes
Valencian Community	Valencia	no
Murcia	Murcia	no
Andalusia	Seville	yes
Balearic Islands	Palma de Mallorca	yes
Canary Islands	Santa Cruz de Tenerife / Las Palmas de Gran Canaria	yes
Ceuta	Ceuta	no
Melilla	Melilla	no

The end shows the communities found at the first try out of 19 and your time, lists the ones you missed, and “Practise the ones I missed” asks only those.
