Comarques of Land of Valencia

Encyclopedia : C : CO : COM : Comarques of Land of Valencia

Despite the comarca has always been of traditional usage in Land of Valencia, current ones are actually modern, proposed after an intense debate during the 1960s.

Current organization was approved in 1986 by the government of Generalitat Valenciana where three homologated territory demacation categories were stablished.

Hence, the first category is the municipality, the second one is the "comarca" and the third one is the province. However, this second category is nowhere defined as "comarca" and these are not given any juridical entity or any other kind of administrative competence. Municipalities can indeed share competences by creating mancomunities that may go beyond comarcal delimitations, but not provincial ones.
