I comuni con la maggiore popolazione musulmana sono Barcellona, Ceuta, Madrid e Melilla, seguiti da El Ejido (Almer\u00eda) e Murcia. Ceuta e Melilla sono citt\u00e0 autonome spagnole sulla costa marocchina nel Nord Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Questa presenza ha anche portato a un numero crescente di studenti che studiano la religione islamica ogni anno, superando i 390.000 da quando il curriculum per la materia \u00e8 stato pubblicato nel 1996.
