A brief guide to Spain
- About
Spain
To
the west and to the south of Galicia, Spain borders
Portugal. To the south, it borders Gibraltar and,
through its cities in North Africa (Ceuta and Melilla),
Morocco. To the northeast, along the Pyrenees mountain
range, it borders France and the tiny principality
of Andorra. It also includes the Balearic Islands
in the Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands in the
Atlantic Ocean 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 isle of Alborán, the "rocks" (penones)
of Vélez and Alhucemas, and the tiny Isla Perejil.
In the northeast along the Pyrenees, a small exclave
town called Llívia in Catalonia is surrounded by
French territory
.
