Remark: In the autonomous communities of Galicia, Catalonia and the Balearics, the respective regional languages are the sole official languages of toponymy. Castilian language forms are given in square brackets for information. For the toponyms of the autonomous communities of Navarra, Valencia and the Basque Country, with the exception of the province names Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, the regional language has co-official status with Castilian. Regional language forms having equal status to that of Castillian are shown with an asterisk (in accordance with the official Spanish form of presentation).
