Unit 7: The political geography of Spain and the world

In this unit we abandon the physical geography and we pass to other different branch of this discipline: the political geography. So, we can say that we cross from the Physical Geography to the Human Geography.

The unit is divided in several parts. You can see some presentations about every one of them. 

1) Presentation #1: Is about the political geography of Spain, and the 17 regions (of autonomous communities) + 2 autonomous cities (Ceuta & Melilla).

2) This is a game about the political geography of Europe. You can select among different languages, in Spanish and English. Enjoy it!  :-)

3) This is another game, even better and more complete, where you can play with all the continents, the European Union, national flags, different regions in the same state, etc... Enjoy it! :-)
