A territorial division or region, especially in Spain and Portugal; a district or area with defined boundaries.
From Spanish and Portuguese comarca, derived from Latin com- ('together') + marca ('border' or 'march'). Originally referred to border regions or marks between territories.
Spain and Portugal are divided into hundreds of comarcas, which are way smaller than provinces—it's like how counties work in the US but with even more local identity and cultural pride attached to each region.
