The regions in a place are the different areas in a country. For example, in Canada, Ontario, Saskatchewan or Nunavut are regions. Also the Canadian shield is a region. Some of the regions in Spain are: Andalucia, Madrid, and Aragon. In total Spain has 17 regions. Townships are areas found inside regions. For example, Toronto in found in Ontario. In Spain Bilbao is found in the region called the Basque country. Bilbao is the place I stayed this January. Spain is a country, inside countries there are regions, and inside regions there are townships. While in Spain I found that every region has it's own cheese. I never knew that.
