area; district
Usage Note
Región is feminine. Spain is officially divided into comunidades autónomas (autonomous communities), not regiones, but the word is used loosely in everyday speech for any geographic area. The plural regiones shifts the stress from the last syllable to the penultimate, as the written accent is dropped: re-GIO-nes.
Examples
"Esa región produce buen vino."
Natural Translation
That region produces good wine.
