Iberia

The Iberian Peninsula is the westernmost section of the European continent, lying between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It is separated from France by the snow capped Pyrenees mountains.  While the Spanish Canary Islands and Portuguese islands Madeira and Azores are far from the Iberian mainland, they are integrated provinces in their respective countries, and described here as part of Iberia.

Countries:

• Andorra A tiny land-locked country in the Pyrenees mountains, popular for skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, and shopping all year long.
• Portugal (including the Azores and Madeira) This stunning country is bordered by Spain and the picturesque Atlantic Ocean.
• Spain (including the Canary Islands and Spanish North Africa) This country is one of Europe's best loved destinations for holidays and living: the culture, nightlife, beaches and history all give human beauty to a country that has so much natural beauty.

Overseas territory:

• Gibraltar The United Kingdom's stronghold on the Spanish coast since before the days of Napoleon.
