Spain occupies
most of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with
Portugal, in southwest Europe. It is less than 10 miles
north of Africa across the Strait of Gibraltar. A broad
central plateau slopes to the south and east, crossed by a
series of mountain ranges and river valleys. Principal
rivers are the Ebro in the northeast, the Tajo in the
central region, and the Guadalquivir in the south. Off
Spain's east coast in the Mediterranean are the Balearic
Islands, the largest of which is Majorca. Travelers come to
Spain for its rich culture and its beautiful coastline and
fertile valley. Many come to visit the old English duty-free
colony of Gibraltar with its historic tunnels and caves in
the Rock. Historic cities of Seville and Granada are know
for art and fine Spanish living.
