  prov = NULL,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

esp_get_simpl_ccaa(
  ccaa = NULL,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

prov, ccaa	character. A vector of names and/or codes for provinces and autonomous communities or NULL to get all the data. See Details.
update_cache	logical. Should the cached file be refreshed? Default is FALSE. When set to TRUE, it will force a new download.
cache_dir	character string. A path to a cache directory. See Caching strategies section in esp_set_cache_dir().
verbose	logical. If TRUE displays informational messages.

You can use and mix names, ISO codes, "codauto"/ "cpro" codes (see esp_codelist) and NUTS codes of different levels.

When using a code corresponding to a higher level (e.g. esp_get_prov("Andalucia")) all the corresponding units of that level are provided (in this case, all the provinces of Andalusia).
