Where Is Spain Located?

Spain dominates the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, bordered by France and Andorra to the north and Portugal to the west. Its reach includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands off Africa's Atlantic coast.

Spain's geography spans Mediterranean beaches, Atlantic cliffs, central plateaus, and the snow-capped Pyrenees. You can pair a coastal stay in Mallorca with a mountain escape in the Aragonese Pyrenees or a vineyard retreat in La Rioja. Coastal climates are mild, while Madrid and the interior see hotter summers and crisp winters. Plan routes between destinations that balance sea breezes with higher-elevation cool nights for comfortable luxury stays.
