Town or City?

[edit]

Is this a city (as its category says), a town (as its summary says), or a village (as the text says)? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:53, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well, having lived there for three years, I would honestly say...I'm not sure. ^_^;;; Seriously, it's a town. I'll have to go back and clean that up. --Mitsukai 01:56, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks — I've made some changes, including re-categorising. I found this article because I've started a new category (Category:Villages in Spain), and I was looking for articles that should be included. If you know of any, I'd be very grateful if you could help out. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:55, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. Would be more than happy to. --Mitsukai 12:38, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Categorising

[edit]

Well, I was born in Rota, and I'm a geography teacher. I can say that Rota is actually a city if we use Spain standars in population. Anyway there are many definition of city and urban life, Rota is a town in many ways, there are lack of basic services like Hospitals, or even a Mall. Since the Middle Age Rota is a "villa", an urban site like a town instead of being a city, but it is an ancient category, Madrid is also a "villa". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Screamingmua~enwiki (talkcontribs) CapnZapp (talk) 12:46, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
