Abstract: This paper pursues a deep insight in the evolution of the spatial distribution of the pandemic in the Spanish provinces along the six waves. Through the use of spatial exploratory techniques, we observe that the geographical spread of the COVID-19 has been changing considerably so that the conclusions obtained for specific points in time are not transferable to other moments of the pandemic. We also take into consideration the changes in the determinants of the spread of the pandemic across waves while considering the possibility of external effects across provinces through the estimation of spatial regressions.
