    The model of political decentralisation in Spain is facing new challenges in recent years. These challenges are the consequence of the economic crisis and its impact on territorial organization but also of the desire for independence of Catalonia manifested by certain remarkable Catalonian political parties. In this article is argued that to understand these two issues, it is necessary to give a brief description of the Spanish model of territorial organisation and its evolution. Throughout this description, challenges related to the economic crisis and, especially, the need to discern the causes of some specific problems are dealt with. The issue of Catalonian secession is also analyzed by emphasizing its complicity.
