Spain is situated on the Iberian Peninsula.
00:00:00
The country's mainline is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea, to
00:00:06
the north by France and Andorra, and to the west by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean.
00:00:11
We enjoy 5,000 km of coastline.
00:00:17
Spain's capital and largest city is Madrid, and if you visit Spain, you can expect a Mediterranean
00:00:21
climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters.

The Romans occupied the Iberian Peninsula around 200 BC.
00:00:44
They held sway for six centuries.
00:00:49
In 711, the Muslims launched an invasion across the Strait of Gibraltar, occupying
00:00:52
most of the peninsula within a few years.
00:00:58
Their presence lasted more than seven centuries.
00:01:01
