Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia

The Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia is a law hierarchically located under the 1978 Constitution of Spain, and over any legislation passed by the Andalusian Autonomous Government.

During the Spanish transition to democracy, Andalusia was the one region of Spain to take its path to autonomy under what was called the "vía rápida" ("fast way") allowed for by Article 151 of the 1978 Constitution.

"[1] The Statute declared Blas Infante the "Father of the Andalusian Homeland" ("Padre de la Patria Andaluza").

On November 2, 2006, the Spanish Chamber Deputies ratified the text of the Constitutional Commission with 306 votes in favor, none opposed, and 2 abstentions.

It also cites the 1919 Andalusian nationalist Manifesto of Córdoba describing Andalusia as a "national reality" (realidad nacional), but does not endorse that formulation.
