Street names also can change due to a change in official language. After the death of Francisco Franco, the Spanish transition to democracy gave Catalonia the status of an autonomous community, with Catalan as a co-official language. While some street names in Catalonia were changed entirely, most were merely given the Catalan translations of their previous Castilian names; for example, "Calle San Pablo" (Saint Paul Street) in Barcelona became "Carrer Sant Pau". In some cases, this was a reversion to Catalan names from decades earlier.
