Hi. The examples refer to the interests of Spain.
1º An enclave is a part of a country entirely surrounded by foreign territory: viewed from the position of the surrounding territories. One example is Gibraltar.
2ºAn exclave is a part of a country entirely surrounded by foreign territory: viewed from the position of the home country. Some examples are Ceuta and Melilla
3º The Spanish enclave is Gibraltar( if you refer to other countries) and the exclaves are Ceuta, Melilla and the Canary Islands(physically they're in Africa)
I don't know if you refer to enclaves which are from other countries or provincial levels of Spain like the place of Ademuz, an enclave of Valencia between Cuanca and Teruel.
Bye, if there's answer wrong, please answer me.

1ª an enclave is a territory whose geographical boundaries lie entirely within the boundaries of another territory. Ex, Gibraltar.
2ªis a territory legally or politically attached to another territory with which it is not physically contiguous.Ex, Ceuta, Melilla.
3ª The Spanish enclabes is Gibraltar.
Bye Paqui and have a happy Eastern!

Well done, Alejandro. There are still some, such as El Rincón de Ademuz. It belongs to Valencia, but it´s located inside Cuenca. Anyway, you´re this weeks winner.

Now, finish your glog!
