In Spain, "comunidades" refers to the autonomous communities or regions that make up the country. Spain is divided into 17 autonomous communities, each with its own government, parliament, and administrative structure. The autonomous communities were established in the 1970s following the country's transition to democracy, and they have varying degrees of autonomy depending on their specific status and history.
