 Castile and León is bordered to the north by Asturias and Cantabria, on the east by Aragon, the Basque Country, and La Rioja, to the southeast by the autonomous community of Madrid and Castile-La Mancha, to the south by Extremadura, and to the west by Portugal and Galicia.
Castile and León is composed of the provinces of Ávila, Burgos, Palencia, Segovia, Soria and Valladolid in the castilian region, and León/Llión, Salamanca and Zamora in the leonese region.
The principal capital of Castile and León is in Valladolid, but the Statute of autonomy doesn't recognize a capital. Another cities with institutions are Burgos (Superior Court of Justice) and León/Llión (Ombudsman). Other best-known cities are Salamanca and Segovia.
