In mapSpain: Administrative Boundaries of Spain

Get a simplified map of provinces and autonomous communities of Spain

Description

Loads a simplified map (sf object) with the boundaries of the provinces or autonomous communities of Spain, as provided by the INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica).

Usage

esp_get_simpl_prov(
  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	A vector of names and/or codes for provinces or NULL to get all the provinces. See Details.
update_cache	A logical whether to update cache. Default is FALSE. When set to TRUE it would force a fresh download of the source file.
cache_dir	A path to a cache directory. See About caching.
verbose	Logical, displays information. Useful for debugging, default is FALSE.
ccaa	A vector of names and/or codes for autonomous communities or NULL to get all the autonomous communities. See Details.

Details

Results are provided without CRS, as provided on source.

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

Value

A sf POLYGON object.

About caching

You can set your cache_dir with esp_set_cache_dir().

Sometimes cached files may be corrupt. On that case, try re-downloading the data setting update_cache = TRUE.

If you experience any problem on download, try to download the corresponding .geojson file by any other method and save it on your cache_dir. Use the option verbose = TRUE for debugging the API query.
