Autonomous community Castille and Leon

Castile and Leon is the largest autonomous community in Spain. It borders on communities of Asturias and Cantabria to the north; Aragon, the Basque Country, and La Rioja to the east; the autonomous community of Madrid and Castile-La Mancha to the southeast; Extremadura to the south; and Portugal and Galicia to the west.

Castile and Leon is divided into nine provinces. Although the "Statute of Autonomy" it does not specify any city to be the capital of the autonomous community, the city of Valladolid serves that purpose in certain contexts.
