Museums (Fig. 7) are numerous in the three largest Spanish conurbations, as well as in most
Andalusian provinces and Balearic islands. The regions that contain large metropolitan
conurbations (Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia) are the ones that concentrate the highest number of
museums (Fig. 8), confirming the intuition that movable collections are more likely to be located in
“urban” areas; the contrary holds for sparsely populated provinces.

Northern Spanish provinces in the Basque countries, Rioja and Cantabria as well as the Province of
La Coruna (where Santiago de Compostela is located) are also well endowed to this respect.
Potential museum users (Fig. 9) are higher in coastal regions and especially in Catalonia, Basque
countries and Galicia, as well as Madrid and Rioja.
