At the Reward Challenge, Terry won a 2007 GMC Yukon, and he, Courtney and Danielle won a meal together.
During their reward, Terry made a deal with Courtney and Danielle for the three of them to work together.
Back at camp, Cirie went fishing and caught a big fish.
After returning to camp, Danielle told Terry she was worried that if they were in the final three with Courtney, she thought he would pick Courtney to go to the final two with because she was less popular.
Terry told Danielle that if either of them won the final immunity challenge, they would take the second place winner to the final two.
When Courtney found out, she became upset because she felt it suggested she was being carried by other players.
Terry won his fourth Immunity Challenge in a row, and the old Casaya alliance had to vote out one of their own.
Shane thought the alliance wanted to vote out Danielle, but Courtney thought that her new alliance with Danielle, Terry and fourth member Cirie was voting against Aras.
Cirie, who didn't like her low position in this alliance started a new alliance with Aras and Danielle to vote against Courtney.
With the votes split three ways, Courtney was voted off. (

Episode 12: Bamboozled
Reward Challenge: The players will dig in a circle of sand, each looking for a bag.
The first four to find their bag move on to the second part of the challenge.
In the second part, they will carry their bags with them to untie a wooden snake.
The first three to get to the finish with both bag and snake move on to the third part of the challenge.
In the third part, they will carry the bag and snake as they race over a sand hill and into a water pit, where they will untie a big fish.
The first two to get to the finish with the fish, bag and snake will move on to the last part of the challenge.
In the last part, the last two standing will play against each other, carrying all three items that they have gathered through a group of wooden tunnels and towers.
The first person to the finish wins Reward.
Reward: A hotel stay with their loved one.
Immunity Challenge: Each tribe member will stand on a very small perch at the top of a 20-foot poll in the water.
When the game starts, they will lower a bucket into the water to fill it, then pour from the bucket into a very narrow bamboo shoot.
As the bamboo shoot fills up with water, it will raise a flag.
Once the flag is high enough to reach, they must carefully grab it and raise it above their head in order to win Immunity.
Players competed in a Reward Challenge of obstacles from past challenges for a visit with loved ones.
The winner would choose who gets what with their loved one.
Terry won and he choose himself and his wife, along with Shane and his son, Boston, to spend the night at a villa.
He also chose Cirie's husband H.B. to spend the night at the camp, Aras to just get a hug from his mother and Danielle to get a few words with her mom from where she was standing.
After the loved ones left, the players went to the Immunity challenge.
For the fifth time in a row, Terry won immunity.

Episode 13: Call the Whambulence!
Reward Challenge: The players will each be attached to ropes by one of two carabiners.
Using the two carabiners, they will clip and move from one rope to another as they move their way around each other along a main path that goes to six stations: poles, hermit crabs, rocks, iguanas, shells and fish.
Each time they get to a station they must count the number of items, race back to the start, and find the answer tile with the same number on it.
Once they've been to all six stations, they will have six numbers.
They will then place those six numbers into an answer grid.
Using the combination, the two numbers in each column will open the locks.
If the lock doesn't open, it means they've counted wrong and they can go back and fix their mistakes.
Once they've opened all three locks, their tribe flag will drop.
The first person to lower their tribe flag wins Reward.
Reward: A luxury yacht tour of the Panama Canal.
Immunity Challenge: Each Survivor will work to solve three puzzles.
Using a set of coordinates, each player will cross two ropes.
Where the ropes cross each other, a bag of puzzle pieces is buried in the sand.
They must dig up the pieces, then race back to their answer boards to solve their puzzle.
The puzzle will tell them the next set of coordinates.
The first person to solve all three puzzles, with the third one reading "Safe From Vote," wins Immunity.
Terry was accidentally tripped by Cirie's torch and yelled at her while she was taking care of the bonfire, but Aras protected her, saying that it was an accident.
This left Terry further separated from the rest of the tribe.
Aras, having won the Reward Challenge, chose to take Cirie on a luxurious yacht trip through the Panama Canal; but not before leaving with a argument with Terry as he said he was complaining every time he lost challenges and said "disparaging comments about women."
Both Terry and Danielle were sent to Exile Island for losing the Challenge.
During their trip, Aras and Cirie talked about how they wanted to be in the Final 2 together; while Danielle and Terry also talked about their fate in the game while they were on Exile Island.
Soon after returning from their reward, Cirie built her first fire.
In the Immunity Challenge, Cirie and Terry were putting up a good fight but Aras ultimately won the challenge, ending Terry's Immunity winning streak.
Before the tribal council, Aras apologized for what he had said after the Reward Challenge, which Terry accepted.
Meanwhile, Cirie and Danielle practiced making fire, since they thought this would be the tiebreaker if there was a tie.
In the end, the guess proved right as the vote did end up tied between Danielle and Cirie.
With Terry not wanting to give Danielle the Hidden Immunity Idol, she and Cirie will have a fire-making challenge.
However right before they started, the scene was cut, ending this episode leaving the viewers hanging.
Episode 14: The Final Showdown
Reward Challenge: The Survivors must race to the top of a three-story climbing wall using four individually-shaped pegs.
First, they must make their way through a table maze.
Once at the end of the maze, each will let loose a bag which has their first two pegs and move to a spinning wheel.
Reading the clues, each must spin the wheel clockwise, counter-clockwise, and clockwise again like a combination lock to find the one bag that has their final two pegs.
With the help of the pegs, the players must get to the top of the wall and put their pegs in the right holes, which will raise a flag.
The first person to raise their flag wins Reward.
Terry won the Reward Challenge.
Reward: A protein-enriched meal that would be useful for the final Immunity Challenge.
Immunity Challenge: Starting on the biggest of a group of floating platforms, every fifteen minutes the Final Three will move to the next smaller platform.
As the platforms get smaller, it will get hard for the Survivors to stay on the platforms.
Only their feet can touch the platform.
If their hands or butt touch the platform or they fall off, they are removed from the challenge.
The last person standing wins Immunity.
After trying many times to start fires that continue to wear out, Danielle won the fire starting tie-breaker, and Cirie was removed from the game.
The next morning, Terry showed the now powerless Immunity Idol back at camp, and in a surprise Reward Challenge, he won a protein-enriched meal that would be useful for the last Immunity Challenge.
The final three were taken to Exile Island to take part in a tribute to the players voted off before them.
The three placed the old torches of the thirteen players on the big skull-shaped shelter in the center of the island and burned it in the process.
Danielle won the last immunity after Terry fell off and Aras jumped off after getting a nod from Danielle.
Danielle voted out Terry, thinking that she would have a better chance of winning against Aras, and because Aras was a fellow member of the old Casaya tribe.
Aras and Danielle got celebrated with a feast the next day.
While walking along the beach rocks, Aras fell and sliced open his hand and back, needing eight stitches.
At the last Tribal Council, Aras and Danielle were asked questions, from who helped them the most in getting to the Final, as to why the other player deserved the million dollar prize more.
Shane, who thought neither of the two deserved the million dollars, asked them to pick a number between one and a million.
At the live reunion, Aras had won, in a 5-2 vote, and became the twelfth Sole Survivor.
Because Bruce was removed due to a medical emergency, he was not voted out, and there was no tribal council.
Cirie was eliminated using the fire-making challenge, used before in Palau, but it was not shown until the next episode.

Germany (, ), officially the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland), is a country in Central Europe.
The country's full name is sometimes shortened to the FRG (or the BRD, in German).
To the north of Germany are the North and Baltic Seas, and the kingdom of Denmark.
To the east of Germany are the countries of Poland and the Czech Republic.
To the south of Germany are the countries of Austria and Switzerland.
To the west of Germany are the countries of France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
The total area of Germany is 357,021 square kilometres (137,847 square miles).
The large majority of Germany has warm summers and cold winters.
In March 2021, Germany had a population of 83.1 million people, the largest in Europe (excluding Russia).
After the United States, Germany is the second most popular country for migration in the world.
Before it was called Germany, it was called Germania.
In the years A.D. 900 – 1806, Germany was part of the Holy Roman Empire.
From 1949 to 1990, Germany was made up of two countries called the Federal Republic of Germany (inf.
West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (inf.
East Germany).
During this time, the capital city of Berlin was divided into a west and an east part.
On 13 August 1961, East Germany started building the Berlin Wall between the two parts of Berlin.
West Germany was one of the countries that started the European Union.
Germany gained importance as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, which was the first Reich (this word means empire).
It was started by Charlemagne who became the first Holy Roman Emperor in 800 AD, and it lasted until 1806, the time of the Napoleonic Wars.
In 1866 Prussia won the war against Austria and their allies.
During this time Prussia founded the North German Confederation.
The treaty of unification of Germany was made in Versailles after Germany won the Franco-Prussian War in 1871.
This began the Second Reich.
The biggest state in the new German Empire was Prussia.
The rulers were called Kaisers or "German Emperors", but they did not call themselves "Emperors of Germany".
There were many smaller states in the Empire, but not Austria.
Germany stayed an empire for 50 years.
It joined the other European empires in the Scramble for Africa and fought wars to make large parts of Africa and Oceania its colonies.
It killed many Nama and Herero people who did not want to be ruled by Germany.
Today, those colonies have become seven states: Togo, Cameroon, Namibia, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Papua New Guinea.
In World War I, Germany joined Austria-Hungary, and again declared war on France.
The war became slow in the west and became trench warfare.
Many men were killed on both sides without winning or losing.
In the Eastern Front the soldiers fought with the Russian Empire and won there after the Russians gave up.
The war ended in 1918 because the Germans could not win in the west and gave up.
Germany's emperor also had to give up his power, and most of Germany's African colonies were taken by other European empires.
France took Alsace from Germany and Poland got the Danzig corridor.
After a revolution, the Second Reich ended, and the democratic Weimar Republic began.
The Third Reich was Nazi Germany; it lasted 12 years, from 1933 to 1945.
It started after Adolf Hitler became the head of government.
On 23 March 1933, the Reichstag (parliament) passed the Enabling Act, which let Hitler's government command the country without help from the Reichstag and the presidency.
This gave him total control of the country and the government.
Hitler, in effect, became a dictator.
Hitler wanted to unify all Germans in one state and did this by taking over places where Germans lived, such as Austria and Czechoslovakia; Hitler also wanted the land in Poland that Germany had owned before 1918, but Poland refused to give it to him.
He then invaded Poland.
This started World War II on 1 September 1939.
In the beginning of the war, Germany was winning and even successfully invaded France.
It managed to take over much of Europe.
However, Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1941 and after the Battle of Kursk, the German Eastern Front began a slow retreat until war's end.
On 8 May 1945, Germany gave up after Berlin was captured, Hitler had killed himself a week earlier.
Because of the war, Germany lost a lot of German land east of the Oder-Neiße line, and for 45 years, Germany was split into West Germany and East Germany.
Other events happened during the war in Nazi Germany, including the Holocaust, the mass genocide of Jews and other peoples, for which some Nazis were punished in the Nuremberg Trials.
In 1989 there was a process of reforms in East Germany, which lead to the opening of the Berlin Wall and to the end of socialist rule in Germany.
These events are known as the Wende or the Friedliche Revolution (Peaceful Revolution) in Germany.
After that, East Germany joined West Germany in 1990.
The new Germany is a part of the European Union.
Germany is a constitutional federal democracy.
Its political rules come from the 'constitution' called Basic Law (Grundgesetz), written by West Germany in 1949.
It has a parliamentary system, and the parliament elects the head of government, the Federal Chancellor (Bundeskanzler).
The current Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, is a man who used to live in West Germany.
The people of Germany vote for the parliament, called the Bundestag (Federal Assembly), every four years.
Government members of the 16 States of Germany (Bundesländer) work in the Bundesrat (Federal Council).
The Bundesrat can help make some laws.
The head of state is the Bundespräsident (Federal President).
This person has no real powers but can order elections for the Bundestag.
The current president is Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD).
The judiciary branch (the part of German politics that deals with courts) has a Bundesverfassungsgericht (Federal Constitutional Court).
It can stop any act by the law-makers or other leaders if they feel they go against Germany's constitution.
The opposition parties are the CDU, CSU, Die Linke and the AfD.
Germany is one of the largest countries in Europe.
It stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea in the north to the high mountains of the Alps in the south.
The highest point is the Zugspitze on the Austrian border, at .
Germany's northern part is very low and flat (lowest point: Neuendorf-Sachsenbande at ).
In the middle, there are low mountain ranges covered in large forests.
Between these and the Alps, there is another plain created by glaciers during the ice ages.
In Germany there are sixteen states (Bundesländer):
In these states there are 301 Kreise (districts) and 114 independent cities, which do not belong to any district.
Germany has one of the world's largest technologically powerful economies.
Bringing West and East Germany together and making their economy work is still taking a long time and costing a lot of money.
Germany is the largest economy in Europe and the fourth-largest in the world by nominal gross domestic product (GDP).
In September 2011, the inflation rate in Germany was 2.5%.
The unemployment rate of Germany was 5.5% as of October 2011.
Germany is one of the G8 countries.
The main industry area is the Ruhr area.
The country has companies like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Siemens, Bosch, SAP etc.
In Germany live mostly Germans and many ethnic minorities.
There are at least seven million people from other countries living in Germany.
Some have political asylum, some are guest workers (Gastarbeiter), and some are their families.
Many people from poor or dangerous countries go to Germany for safety.
Many others do not get permission to live in Germany.
About 50,000 ethnic Danish people live in Schleswig-Holstein, in the north.
About 60,000 Sorbs (a Slavic people) live in Germany too, in Saxony and Brandenburg.
About 12,000 people in Germany speak Frisian; this language is the closest living language to English.
In northern Germany, people outside towns speak Low Saxon.
Most of the people who have come to Germany are from Turkey.
Germany has about 1.9 million Turkish immigrants and they own many businesses their.
Turkish people introduced the Doner kebab and became a popular fast food in Germany.
Other small groups of people in Germany are Croats (0.2 million), Italians (0.6 million), Greeks (0.4 million), Russians, and Poles (0.3 million).
There are also some ethnic Germans who lived in the old Soviet Union (1.7 million), Poland (0.7 million), and Romania (0.3 million).
These people have German passports, so they are not counted as foreigners.
A lot of these people do not speak German at home.
Christianity is the biggest religion; Protestants are 38% of the people (mostly in the north) and Catholics are 34% of the people (mostly in the south).
There are also many Muslims, while the other people (26.3%) are either not religious, or belong to smaller religious groups.
In the eastern regions, the former territory of the GDR (known as the DDR in German), only one fifth of the population is religious.
Germany has one of the world's highest levels of schooling, technology, and businesses.
The number of young people who attend universities is now three times more than it was after the end of World War II, and the trade and technical schools of Germany are some of the best in the world.
German income is, on average, $25,000 a year, making Germany a highly middle class society.
A large social welfare system gives people money when they are ill, unemployed, or similarly disadvantaged.
Millions of Germans travel outside of their country each year.
Moving to Germany for safety
In 2015 there were wrong reports in some African, Arabic, etc.
media channels about what it's like to go to and live in Germany.
False promises of money, easy living and easy jobs were made.
Germany is a very densely populated country, and especially in cities the housing situation is difficult and rents are high.
Already in 2014 there were 39,000 homeless people in Germany and 339,000 people without apartment.
Here is a link to a German video report from a German news magazine.
The video is about refugees, who have been living in a sports gym in Berlin for over a year with no privacy.
In the video people discuss amongst others why there are problems to find living space in containers.
The containers are similar to those in Zaatari refugee camp.
In ancient times Germany was largely pagan.
Roman Catholicism was the biggest religion in Germany up to the 15th century, but a major religious change called the Reformation changed this.
In 1517, Martin Luther said that the Catholic Church used religion to make money.
Luther started Protestantism, which is as big as the Catholic religion in Germany today.
Before World War II, about two-thirds of the German people were Protestant and one-thirds were Roman Catholic.
In the north and northeast of Germany, there were a lot more Protestants than Catholics.
Today, about two-thirds of German people (more than 55 million people) call themselves Christian, but most of them do not practice it.
About half of them are Protestants and about half are Roman Catholics.
Most German Protestants are members of the Evangelical Church in Germany.
The previous Pope, Benedict XVI, was born in Germany.
Before World War II, about one percent of the country's people were German Jews.
Today, Germany has the fastest-growing group of Jewish people in the world.
Many of them are in Berlin.
Ten thousand Jews have moved to Germany since the fall of the Berlin Wall; many came from countries that were in the Soviet Union.
Schools teaching about the horrible things that happened when the Nazis were in power, as well as teaching against the ideas of the Nazis, has helped to make Germany very tolerant towards other people and cultures, and now many people move there from countries that may not be so tolerant.
About three million Muslims live in Germany, 3.7% of the total population.

It is billed as being the "eighth story, nineteen years later."
It stars Jamie Parker as Harry, Noma Dumezweni as Hermione, and Paul Thornley as Ron.
"While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted.
As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places."

Beings are creatures like humans and house elves, who are smart enough to manage their own business and Beasts are not.
Centaurs live in the Forbidden Forest near the school.
They are smart and study the stars.
They are proud and do not like it when humans bother them.
Even though centaurs are smart enough to be called "Being" by the Ministry of Magic, they asked to be called "Beast" instead because that meant more humans would leave them alone.

Hermione Granger's Biography
Spain is a country in Southern Europe.
It is in the Iberian Peninsula.
Spain has borders with France, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar.
Ceuta and Melilla border with Morocco in North Africa.
In Spain's northeast side are the Pyrenees mountains.
The people of Spain are called Spaniards.
They speak Castilian or Spanish (in Spanish, "Castellano", from Castilla, or "Español").
They speak other languages in some parts of the country.
They are Catalan, Basque, and Asturian, Galician, Leonese, Aragonese, Aranese Occitan  and even Portuguese.
The religion of about 56% of the population in Spain is Roman Catholic.
Since 1975, Spain has had a constitutional monarchy.
The King of Spain is Felipe VI; he only does what the constitution allows him to.
The parliament is called "Las Cortes Generales," and has two bodies: "El Congreso" (The Congress) and "El Senado" (The Senate) and it is chosen by the Spanish people by voting.
The Prime minister is Pedro Sánchez.
The government and the king's palace are in Madrid, the capital of Spain.
Spain has more than five hundred thousand square kilometres of land.
It is smaller than France, but it is bigger than Germany.
Almost fifty million people live in Spain.
Spain is divided into 17 autonomous communities (this means that they can decide upon some affairs themselves).
Each community has its own government.
Spain is known for flamenco which is usually performed by the Caló.
People have lived in Spain since the Stone Age.
Later, the Roman Empire controlled Spain for about five hundred years; then as the Roman Empire broke up, groups of Germanic people including Visigoths moved in and took control.
Moorish occupation
In 711, the Umayyads took over, and later groups from North Africa, called the Moors.
At first the Moors ruled most of Spain but the reconquista slowly forced them out over seven centuries.
They called the land Al-Andalus.
They were Muslims, and Muslim Spain was the farthest western point of Islamic civilization.
The Caliphate of Córdoba fell apart in the early 11th century and Muslim rulers sometimes fought each other when they were not fighting the Christians.
Muslim Spain was focused on learning.
The greatest library system outside Baghdad was also there.
The Kingdom of León, the most important in the early Spanish Middle Ages, was started in 910.
This Kingdom developed the first democratic parliament (Cortes de Llión) in Europe in 1188.
After 1301, León had the same King as the Kingdom of Castile in personal union.
The various kingdoms remained independent territories until 1833, when Spain was divided into regions and provinces.
In 1492, the Christians took the last part of Spain that still belonged to the Moors, Granada.
Boabdil, the last Moorish King of Granada, surrendered to King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile on 2 January 1492.
Ferdinand and Isabella then ruled all of Spain.
Before this, there were a number of Christian countries in what is now called Spain.
Two of these countries, Castile and Aragon, came together when Ferdinand II of Aragon married the queen Isabella of Castile.
The King ruled as much as the Queen.
In the same year, 1492, they sent Christopher Columbus to sail across the Atlantic Ocean.
Columbus found the islands of the Caribbean Sea.
When other Europeans explored, like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro, they found out that there were two continents there - North America and South America.
Spanish conquistadores took over very large parts of those two continents.
This empire did not make Spain a rich country, for most of the money had to be spent in wars in Italy and elsewhere.
Some of these wars were fought against other European countries who were trying to take over parts of the Americas.
Meanwhile, at home, the Muslim manuscripts had been either burnt or taken to other countries.
Jews had also been expelled from Spain.
Some Jews remained but they had to become Christians.
Among the few old things kept and respected in Spain were in music:  harmony and stringed instruments.
The buildings that had been built by the Moors were kept, and many Muslim religious buildings (mosques) were turned into churches.
Some Jewish religious buildings were also turned into churches.
Many Arab words became part of the Spanish Language.
16th and 17th century
The grandson of Ferdinand and Isabella was Charles.
When his grandfather died he inherited Castille and Aragon.
He also inherited many territories at the death of his other grandfather, Maximilian I of Austria.
Charles received from Maximilian the Austria state and the territories of Burgundy.
He was named Charles I in Spain, but he was elected as the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and was called Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.
This made the empire bigger than ever.
However, it was not a single country, but a personal union of  many independent countries with a single King.
At first many Spaniards did not want Charles as their king, so they fought against him.
However, he won.
Spain (and other European countries) was invaded by Napoleon of France.
Britain sent troops to defend the peninsula, since it was so weak.
Most of the Spanish Empire became independent in the following decades.
Some Spaniards tried to set up a government chosen by the people (a democracy), and they made Alfonso XIII leave the country.
However, in 1936, two different groups of Spaniards went to war over whether the government should be a democracy, in the Spanish Civil War (although those on the side of the Republic were largely socialist or anarchist), or take orders from one person.
In 1939, those who wanted democracy were defeated, and a nationalist dictator named Francisco Franco took over the government.
Francisco Franco died on 20 November 1975.
He had decided that Spain should have a monarchy again, and he chose Juan Carlos, the grandson of Juan of Bourbon who had been forced to leave the country, to be king and Adolfo Suárez to become its first Prime Minister.
But the king and Suárez did not rule as a dictator; instead, they chose to set up a democracy.
On 23 February 1981 a group of people who had supported the now dead General Franco tried to take control of the democratic Spanish Parliament by force, they entered the building and fired guns in the air.
It was seen live on Spanish television and there was widespread fear that this might be the start of another civil war.
However, Juan Carlos I, quickly appeared on television and broadcast to the nation that they should remain calm.
The persons responsible for the attempt to take over the country were arrested.
It is the eighth largest economy in the world and is an important part of the European Union.
On 2 June 2014, Juan Carlos I announced that he would abdicate in favour of his son, Felipe VI.
The date of abdication and handover to Felipe occurred on 19 June 2014.
Ancient religions in Spain were mostly pagan.
Today, however, at least 68 percent of Spain is Roman Catholic.
Spanish mystic Teresa of Ávila is an important figure within Catholicism.
27 percent of Spaniards are irreligious.
2 percent are from other religions, this include Baha'i Buddhists, Jain, Muslim,Unitarian Universalism and Zoroastrianism.
The middle of Spain is a high, dry, flat land called La Meseta.
In La Meseta it can be very hot in the summer and cold or very cold in the winter.

The Mount Teide (Tenerife, Canary Islands), the highest mountain of Spain and the islands of the Atlantic (it is the third largest volcano in the world from its base).
In the north there is a range of mountains called Los Picos de Europa (The European Peaks).
Here it is very cold in winter with a lot of snow but with gentle warm summers.
In the south-east of the country is a range of mountains called La Sierra Nevada (The Snowy Mountains).
This range of mountains contains the highest mountain in mainland Spain, Mulacen, at 2952 metres.
La Sierra Nevada is very popular in winter for winter sports, especially skiing.
Snow remains on its peaks throughout the year.
The south coast, has a warm and temperate climate, not very hot or very cold.
Since Spain is in the south of Europe, it is very sunny.
Many people from Northern Europe take their vacations in Spain, enjoying its beaches and cities.
Spain has a border with Portugal in the west and borders with France and Andorra in the North.
In the south, it borders Gibraltar, a British territory.
The Spanish territories of Ceuta and Melilla are in North Africa and border onto Morocco.
Spain is divided into Autonomous Communities, which means that they have their own regional governments.
They are Andalucía (capital city Seville), Aragon (capital city Zaragoza), Asturias (capital city Oviedo), Balearic Islands (capital city Palma de Mallorca), Basque Country (capital city Vitoria), Canary Islands (capital cities Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas), Cantabria (capital city Santander), Castilla-La Mancha (capital city Toledo), Castile and Leon (capital city Valladolid), Catalonia (capital city Barcelona), Extremadura (capital city Merida), Galicia (capital city Santiago de Compostela), La Rioja (capital city Logrono), Madrid Community (capital city Madrid), Murcia Community (capital city Murcia), Navarra (capital city Pamplona) and the Valencia Community (capital city Valencia).
