More about Spain

• IAMHIGHER: Latest statistics of population in the country of Spain, including languages spoken, urban population, birth rate, fertility rate and life expectancy for both men and women.

Spain borders France and Andorra to the northeast, Portugal to the west and Gibraltar to the south. Mainland Spain occupies over four fifths of the Iberian Peninsula. Spain also includes the archipelago of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands off the African coast in the Atlantic.

Spain’s landscape is quite mountainous. The heartland of Castile takes up about two thirds of the total area. It extends over wide, sparsely populated plateaus (mesetas) surrounded by mountain ranges. This plateau is divided into the smaller North Meseta and the larger South Meseta by the Castilian Scheidegebirge. The north meseta (800–850 m mean altitude above sea level) is drained by the river Duero, the south meseta (500–700 m mean altitude, in the southwest 300–150 m) by the rivers Tajo and Guadiana. Other characteristic landscapes are the Galician Mountains in the north-west, Asturias and the Basque Country (with parts of the Cantabrian Mountains) in the north, the Ebro Basin with Navarra, La Rioja and Aragonand Catalonia in the northeast, which borders the Mediterranean Sea. To the south are Andalusia, drained by the Guadalquivir, and the coastal landscapes of Valencia and Murcia, which border the Mediterranean in the east and south-east. The northern border of Spain is formed by the Pyrenees in the northeast (Pico de Aneto with 3,404 m above sea level). To the south rise the Betic Cordilleras (with the Sierra Nevada, in Mulhacén 3 478 m above sea level) between the Mediterranean coast and the Iberian plateau. Skiing is possible in both mountains in winter. Check vaultedwatches to see Spain – Europe Most Popular Tourist Destination.

With soaring peaks and deeply cut valleys, the Canary Islands have completely different landscapes. Their formation can be traced back to volcanic processes. This volcanism and its landforms are particularly visible on Lanzarote and La Palma.

The highest point in Spain is the now extinct stratovolcano Pico de Teide (3 718 m above sea level) on the Canary Island of Tenerife. It is one of the highest island volcanoes on earth. Spain’s coastline (excluding islands) is 3,144 km, 1,663 km of which is on the Mediterranean Sea.

The Atlantic coast in the north and northwest has Riyal coasts with sufficiently deep and well-protected natural harbors. The coastal strips on the Mediterranean and the Atlantic coast in the southwest are alluvial coasts between steep, rocky promontories and poorly protected harbors.

In terms of climate, only the narrow northern border – from the Galician highlands in the extreme northwest to the eastern end of the Pyrenees – has an ever-humid and temperature-moderate climate. This area is year-round without a lack of water. The vast majority of the country, on the other hand, is characterized by a subtropical-Mediterranean climate. Here there is a long summer drought with high temperatures, strong sunlight, high evaporation and relatively high rainfall in late autumn and spring. However, the amount of precipitation fluctuates greatly from year to year. The high areas of the Meseta show continental climatic influences with high temperature fluctuations between the seasons (temperatures in summer up to over 40 ° C, in winter down to −8 ° C). Its wide table and basin landscapes receive annual precipitation of 300–500 mm, only the high altitudes of the Pyrenees and the western reservoirs of the Cantabrian Mountains receive up to 2,000 mm. A strip parallel to the coast in the southeast between Almería and Alicante shows the characteristics of a dry climate with a pronounced, long-lasting summer drought with annual rainfall of less than 300 mm,

Because of the great height differences between coastal plains and high mountains, the vegetation is distributed differently: Above the olive and macchia (or garigue) level with evergreen oaks (cork, holm oaks) that are typical for lower elevations, there is an island-like level with coniferous (pine) trees) or deciduous forest (beech); the high zones have barren grasslands and dwarf juniper stands. The Balearic Islands are known for the splendid almond blossom in spring every year. Intensive cultivation of crops requires irrigation throughout the dry summer of Spain.

Of the major waters, only the Ebro and Guadalquivir flow along their entire length in Spain. In the catchment area of ​​the Meseta plateau, the Miño, Duero and Tajo flow into Portuguese territory, the Guadiana is a border river. The main watershed between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean runs far to the east in a north-south orientation, which is why the Turia, Júcar and Segura rivers that drain into the Mediterranean are much shorter. The seasonally strongly fluctuating water flow of the rivers with previously devastating melt floods in spring has meanwhile been largely compensated for by the construction of barrages.
