Yes, it still exists. There many provincial enclaves, only in
Catalonia there are four:
- Malagarriga. It's an enclave of Lleida province into Barcelona. It
belongs to the municipality of Pinós.
Two more maps:

( marked in red between the municipal terms of Navàs and Cardona )

- An enclave that belongs to the municipality of Montmajor ( Barcelona )
into the Lleida Province. You can see the crazy configuration of this
municipality:

- La Rovira. Enclave that belongs to the Les Llosses municipality (
Girona province ) into the Borredà term ( Barcelona ):

- Finally, an small enclave named "Cal Vies", belonging to the
municipality of L'Arboç ( Tarragona province ) enclaved among the terms
of Santa Margarida i els Monjos, Castellví de la Marca and Castellet i
la Gornal ( Barcelona province ). See the attached map.
All of them are bits of terrain, most of them unhabited.
There's a interesting book about the spanish provincial enclaves:
Ramon Carnicer: Viaje a los enclaves españoles. Ed. Ausa, 1995.
