Administratively, Spain is divided into 50 provinces, grouped into 17 autonomous communities and 2 autonomous cities with a high degree of autonomy. The name Spain comes from the Latin name Hispania whose capital is Madrid which is also the largest city of the Country.
Medina del Campo is one of the pre-eminent, historical and potential tourism destinations located in the middle of the Spanish Meseta Central, in Castile-Leon autonomous region. It has some urban features including an important railroad station, an industrial estate and very busy major roads, but it also retains a clearly rural character, since it is the capital of a farming area and it is far away from the great economic centers.
