The
Kingdom of Spain or Spain (Spanish: Reino de España or España).
Spain is a country located in the southwest of Europe. Spain shares the Iberian
Peninsula with Portugal, Gibraltar and Andorra.
To the northeast, along the Pyrenees mountain range, Spain borders France and
the tiny principality of Andorra. It includes the Balearic Islands in the
Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, the cities of Ceuta
and Melilla in north Africa, and a number of uninhabited islands on the
Mediterranean side of the strait of Gibraltar, known as Plazas de soberanía,
such as the Chafarine islands, the "rocks" (Spanis: peñones) of Vélez and
Alhucemas, and the tiny Isla Perejil (disputed). In the Northeast along
the Pyrenees, a small exclave town called Llívia, integral part of Spain and
Catalonia, is surrounded by French territory.
