The Cooperation Agreement identifies as Islamic worship places the mosques and cemeteries.
In Spain, there are 13 big mosques in the cities of Madrid (2), Valencia (1), Córdoba (2), Granada (1), Ceuta (2), Melilla (2), Fuengirola (1), Marbella (1) and Málaga (1). [
See: List of Mosques in Spain].
However, in practice, most common places of worship are small oratories established in commercial premises, garages, and private apartments.
The religious communities are mostly renting these establishments, just a minority are private property.
A study from 2009 about the religious situation in Castile-La Mancha identified 46 religious communities of which only 4 had a private property.
 At the autonomic level, the Community of Madrid signed an agreement with the UCIDE in 1998, which referred in the third clause to the promotion of transfer of land to construct mosques and worship places in Madrid.
In Catalonia, on the other side, a law was adopted in 2009 to deal with the granting of licenses by municipal councils.
Especially in Catalonia, there have been many cases of social opposition to mosques.
In a study conducted by Avi Stor 41 cases were reported in Catalonia between 1990 and 2013, the total cases in Spain was 74 from 1985 to 2013.
