Comarcas Of Andalusia
In Andalusia, comarcas have no defined administrative powers; many municipalities have gathered together to form ''mancomunidades'' in order to provide basic services, but those do not always coincide with the traditional ''comarcas''. The current (2007) Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia, unlike its 1981 predecessor, allows for the establishment and regulation of official ''comarcas'' under its Title III, Article 97, which defines the significance of ''comarcas'' and sets the basis for future legislation in this area. In 2003, the Council of Tourism and Sports of the Regional Government of Andalusia The Regional Government of Andalusia ( es, Junta de Andalucía) is the government of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. It consists of the Parliament, the President of the Regional Government and the Government Council.

Villanueva Del Arzobispo
Villanueva del Arzobispo is a city located in the province of Jaén, Spain. According to the 2011 census (INE), the city had a population of 8,924. History The town was first mentioned in the year 1396 owing to a petition made by Pedro Tenorio, archbishop of Toledo, to King Henry III of Castile. Hence the town's name, which means ''New Town of the Archbishop'' in Spanish. Before this date, the town was called ''La Moraleja'', adjacent to Iznatoraf and towards the beginning of the 13th century formed part of the conquered territory of Cazorla. There exist basic forms of the ancient name of the locality, which before being called La Moraleja was called in Arabic ''Al-Buxarressa'', from which La Moraleja derives. The urban nucleus of Villanueva del Arzobispo is situated next to the mountain of Albercones, to the west, at a crossroads. It presents a mixed picture, with some ancient districts made up of irregular roads and blocks of houses, and others with blocks more or less ...

Úbeda
Úbeda (; from Iberian ''Ibiut'') is a town in the province of Jaén in Spain's autonomous community of Andalusia, with 34,733 (data 2017) inhabitants. Both this city and the neighbouring city of Baeza benefited from extensive patronage in the early 16th century resulting in the construction of a series of Renaissance style palaces and churches, which have been preserved ever since. In 2003, UNESCO declared the historic cores and monuments of these two towns a World Heritage Site. History Recent archaeological findings indicate a pre-Roman settlement at Úbeda, such as argaric and iberic remains. The capital of the iberic state was called Iltiraka and was located over the Guadalquivir river, 10 km south of the actual site of the town. Romans and later Visigoths occupied the site as a settlement. During the Reconquista, in 1233, King Ferdinand III conquered the city to the Kingdom of Castile. As part of Castille the possession of territories of Úbeda increased substa ...
