Pyrenees
Aneto Peak in the Pyrenees.
The Pyrenees are a mountain chain located in southwestern Europe. They form a natural high wall that stretches approximately 270 miles (430 kilometers) between the Mediterranean Sea in the east and the Bay of Biscay on the Atlantic Ocean in the west.1
The range primarily serves as the boundary between France and Spain, effectively separating the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of the continent. Additionally, the small principality of Andorra is situated among its peaks.1
