Fact & Figures. Demographics
Spanish main cities. Population
At AWindow we have put together some figures on demographics for Spain so that the practitioner can have an idea of which are the main cities and regional administrations, at least, in terms of number of inhabitants. It might be useful for those practitioners that want to spark a discussion about the convenience of using a traditional location.
There are 17 regional administrations, known in Spain as Autonomous Communities. They are the first-level political division of the Kingdom of Spain. The grid shows the main four according to population. Bear in mind that Catalonia includes four provinces (Barcelona, Tarragona, Lérida and Gerona), Andalucia eight (Almería, Córdoba, Cádiz, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga and Seville) and the Valencian Community three (Alicante, Castellón and Valencia).
The following grid comes from the latest updates published by the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) and shows a summary of population by city and Regional Administration.
