Evangelical venues account for more than half of Spain’s non-Catholic worship places, ahead of 16 other minority religious groups, and more than double that of Islam, which was its closest challenger.

New data has revealed that of the 8,140 non-Catholic worship places, 4,572 are evangelical, with particularly strong representation present in Catalonia, Madrid and Andalusia, according to Evangelical Focus.

The data shows that just 17.6% of Spain’s municipalities have a non-Catholic worship place, but that evangelicals are the group with the most venues in the locations with the most worship places overall.

Evangelical worship places were found to make up more than 70% of non-Catholic venues in Madrid and Cantabria, and more than 60% in Asturias and Galicia. They also accounted for more than half in several other locations.
