Map of a Spanish province with its municipalities

How to use it

Type the name of a province (or of an island: Mallorca, Tenerife, Lanzarote…) and pick it from the list. Spanish and local names both work, so Gerona and Girona, or Vizcaya and Bizkaia, find the same province. The map zooms to it and draws every municipality with its official boundary. The capital is highlighted in yellow with its name in bold; the other names appear as space allows, so you see more as you zoom in.

Hover over a municipality, or tap it on your phone, to see its name, INE code, population, area and density. The list next to the map has the same municipalities: sort it by name, code or population, search it, and tap a row to jump to it on the map.

“Download image” saves the map as you see it as a PNG, with a title and sources; “Print” gives you a page with the map and the full list of municipalities and their population, with nothing else from the site. The page address keeps the province you chose: copy it to share it.

Provinces and municipalities in Spain

Spain is divided into 17 autonomous communities (regions with their own parliament, like Andalusia or Catalonia), which are split into 50 provinces, plus the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa. Each province is made up of municipalities (municipios), the basic unit of local government: every one has a town council (ayuntamiento) and a mayor, and together they cover the whole country. Spain has 8,132 of them.

Burgos is the province with the most municipalities (371), followed by Salamanca (362); Las Palmas has the fewest (34). The northern and central provinces are full of tiny municipalities: 4,980 of them (61%) have fewer than 1,000 people and 1,406 have fewer than 100.

By population, Madrid is the largest province, with 7,137,031 people, and Soria the smallest, with 90,234. Among municipalities, Madrid is the most populous (3,506,730 people) and Torremochuela (Guadalajara) the least, with 6. The largest by area is Cáceres (Cáceres), at 1,750 km².

Where the data comes from

Municipal and provincial boundaries come from the administrative divisions database of the IGN (Instituto Geográfico Nacional, Spain’s national mapping agency), dated August 10, 2026, simplified so the map loads fast without moving more than about 10 meters. Each municipality’s area comes from the IGN’s gazetteer of municipalities.

Population is the official figure from the municipal register (Padrón) as of January 1, 2025, published by the INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Spain’s national statistics office): 49,114,494 people in all of Spain. Every resident has to be signed up in the register of the municipality where they live, so it works as a yearly count. Each municipality’s code is its five-digit INE code (two digits for the province and three for the municipality), the one public bodies use.
