Each community has certain political powers managed by a government and an assembly of elected representatives. People in every community are proud of their own culture. Some have their own language. Others speak Spanish with a regional accent. All have traditions of their own which they may share or not with other communities.
Food also tends to vary from region to region.
It is an enriching combination of common and different cultures that also creates tensions. People's feelings about their community and how it fits into the Spanish nation are constantly debated.
