Abstract
Comunidad Valenciana is one of the seventeen autonomous regions into which Spain is divided. It is located on the east coast of Spain, next to the Mediterranean sea, with an area of 23,255 km2 and with 4,009,329 inhabitants in 1996. From an administrative point of view there are three levels of aggregation: provinces (3 units), health areas (20 units) and municipalities (541 units).
