Comarcas of Asturias

Comarcas of Asturias.

Asturias, an autonomous community in Spain, is divided into eight comarcas (cotarros in Asturian). These comarcas are not an administrative division of the autonomous community, and are only used as a system to homogenize the statistical data collected by the Principality of Asturias.

The comarcas in Spain are a grouping of municipalities that are encouraged (but not required) to work together to achieve objectives. The term Comarca is a Spanish word roughly equivalent to the English word county.
