Administrative divisions of Spain on 1936

[Dreamslayer]

How different is the administrative division of modern Spain from that of 1936? Some sources say that there was 50 provinces in 1936. How about regions like Andalusia or Catalonia? Does anybody know a good maps for 1936?

I found strange Russian map of Spain but looks like its "view-only" (at least I don't understand how to download it)

There are still 50 provinces, they were organiced in "regions" now in "Comunidades Autonomas" been almost each old "region" a new "comunidad autonoma". There are 17 Comunidades Autonomas plus 2 "independent cities" of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa.

Should provincial capitals have any additional value in the game?

I don't think so. There are provinces with cities that are larger and more important than their capital (Vigo, Gijón). It's better to value each one on its own merits. A provincial capital was an administrative center, but often it didn't coincide with the economic center.

On the other hand, the current territorial administration is more similar to the german one (Autonomía = Länder). Although some Autonomías are more "autonomous" than others (with their own police force, laws, tax authority and official language)
