New Territorial Division

Hello, the other day I made a post where, putting a map of Spain with some changes in the current territorial division, I asked people their opinion about it, and in the same way I ask you today, so what do you think?

One of the main problems that we encountered, beyond which province belongs to this community or to that other, was the current provincial division itself, coming from 1833, and the lack of adjustment of some provinces to the territorial reality.

Thus, based on the debate in the comments, the current provincial division (1833), and the map of Floridablanca’s municipalities (1785), I have prepared the attached map.

The changes that I have made have been: – Separation of León as CCAA – Split of El Bierzo (León) and annexation to Galicia as a new province (province that already existed with the provincial division of 1822) – Division of Cantabria, annexing the territories of the Campoo-Los Valles region to the province of Palencia. – Annexation of La Rioja to Castilla, forming Old Castilla, along with the new Palencia. Similar to the territorial division of the 20th century. – Splitting of Albacete from the typically Murcian municipalities of the province, annexing it to the Region of Murcia. – And perhaps one of the most shocking, the formation of the metropolitan area of ​​Madrid as an autonomous city (according to the Atlas of the Community of Madrid), annexing the remaining territories of the province of Madrid to the provinces of Guadalajara and Toledo, continuing in the the 1785 Floridablanca model as much as possible. (I have also thought about annexing some territories to the province of Segovia, following in turn the division into municipalities of 1787, but since it is on the other side of the Sierra de Guadarrama, and due to the relationship of these territories with the city of Madrid, I have decided that they will all be part of the same CCAA.)

I know it’s controversial, but that’s the fun of it in a way, being the result of the debate of several people from different parts of Spain and trying to adjust to the history of the territories in a way that is perhaps better than the current territorial division. current.

What has been said, I know that it can give rise to a lot of debate and controversy, so please, there is peace, that everything can be debated with respect and in order to form a better vision of the current territoriality in Spain.

Whoever wants to comment, I will be happy to read and respond, since it is a topic that is of special interest to me, both for its social, historical and geographical implications.

PS: To all the Andalusians, I have reunited Andalusia, which on the other map I divided in two and although some agreed, the majority told me that it is better together than a little more and knives fly 😂😂.
