 In the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands, each major island is governed by an "insular council".In Catalonia, the "provincial deputations" have very little power, as other territorial subdivisions have been created.In those seven autonomous communities formed by a single province, the provincial deputations have been replaced by the communities' institutions of government; in fact, the provinces themselves are not only coterminous with the communities, but correspond in essence to the communities themselves.
