Its Statute of Autonomy was ratified on October 25, 1979. The Basque Country has no official capital, but Vitoria (Alava) is the seat of both the Parliament and the Basque Government.
Asturias Medal
The Principality of Asturias is an autonomous community composed of a single province. It is bounded to the west by the province of Lugo (Galicia), to the north by the Bay of Biscay, to the east by Cantabria, and to the south by the province of León (Castile y León). It is called a Principality on historical grounds, ever since Spain's King John I of Castile created an entitlement in 1388 conferring on the heir to the Spanish Crown the designation of "Prince of Asturias". The capital is Oviedo, and the most densely populated city is Gijón.
It is home to two indigenous languages that enjoy a similar status: Asturian or Bable, and Eonaviego or Galaic-Asturian, spoken at the councils held in the westernmost localities.
Its Statute of Autonomy was ratified on January 30, 1982.
Murcia Medal
The Region of Murcia is an autonomous community composed of a single province located in the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula, between Andalusia (provinces of Granada and Almería) and the Valencian Community (province of Alicante), and between the Mediterrranean coast and Castile-La Mancha (province of Albacete). The capital is the city of Murcia. Its Statute of Autonomy was approved on June 9, 1982. The official language is Castilian.
The Region is one of the main producers of fruit, vegetables and flowers in Europe. It also possesses an important tourist sector. The most noteworthy industries are those of the petrochemicals and energy production sectors (based in Cartagena) in addition to the food industry.
