Spain

About Spain

Spain occupies most of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, stretching from the Pyrenees to the Strait of Gibraltar, with the Balearic and Canary Islands beyond. Its capital, Madrid, sits high on the central plateau, while regions from Catalonia to Andalusia nurture distinct languages and traditions. Roman aqueducts, Moorish palaces, and Gothic cathedrals record a layered history that made Spain a global crossroads of cultures.

• ·Spain's national anthem, the Marcha Real, is one of the few in the world with no official lyrics.
• ·Madrid sits about 650 meters above sea level, making it the highest capital city in the European Union.
• ·Spain has land borders on two continents, since the cities of Ceuta and Melilla lie on the coast of North Africa.
