        <title>Spain polygon data</title>
        <description> I am currently working on updating polygon data for Spain. That I started to look into it was much due to http://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=14167%2Fspain-bug-in-maps-geographical-lists , though I don&amp;#039;t see the issue there.

The number of regions in Spain according to Geocaching.com is 19. Project-GC only had polygon data for 17 of those. We were missing Ceuta and Melilla. These have been added. Counties with the same names has been added as well, increasing number of counties from 50 to 52.

Last time I made polygon changes I wrote a tool that tries to compare old and new data, and also tries to find challenge checkers that are affected. The tools output looks like this (_tmp_Spain is the new):
QuoteRegions only in Spain:
  -
Regions only in _tmp_Spain:
  Ceuta
  Melilla
Counties only in Spain:
  Araba / Álava
  Santander
Counties only in _tmp_Spain:
