Andalucía

Español Andalucía - Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía

Andalucía es una comunidad autónoma española compuesta por ocho provincias: Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga y Sevilla. Su capital es Sevilla y tiene la sede del Tribunal Superior de Justicia en Granada. Es la comunidad autónoma más poblada (7.975.672 habitantes, en 2006) y la segunda más extensa, lo que unido a su historia y cultura le confiere un peso singular y decisivo en el conjunto de España. Andalucía se encuentra situada en el extremo suroccidental de Europa, limitando al sur con el estrecho de Gibraltar, el mar Mediterráneo y el peñón de Gibraltar, y al oeste con la República de Portugal y el océano Atlántico. Dentro de España, limita al norte con Extremadura y Castilla-La Mancha, al este con la Región de Murcia.

English Andalusia - Autonomous Community of Andalusia
Andalusia is an autonomous community of Spain. Andalusia is the most populous and the second largest, in terms of its land area, of the seventeen autonomous communities of the Kingdom of Spain. It has very fertile land, which is suitable for farming. This is because the Guadalquivir River flows through it. Its capital is Seville. Andalusia is bounded on the north by the autonomous communities of Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha; on the east by the autonomous community of Murcia and the Mediterranean Sea; on the west by ► Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean; on the south by the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar, which separates Spain from ► Morocco, and the Atlantic Ocean. The British colony of ► Gibraltar shares a three-quarter-mile land border with the Andalusian province of Cádiz at the eastern end of the Strait of Gibraltar.

General remarks:

  • The WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Atlas of the World is an organized and commented collection of geographical, political and historical maps available at Wikimedia Commons. The main page is therefore the portal to maps and cartography on Wikimedia. That page contains links to entries by country, continent and by topic as well as general notes and references.
  • Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The same goes for the texts in the history sections.
  • Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries.
  • The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned.
  • The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.
