What is the geographical location of Spain?

Spain is located in extreme southwestern Europe, occupying about 85 percent of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with Portugal. To the northeast it borders France, from which it is separated by the tiny principality of Andorra and by the great wall of the Pyrenees Mountains. Spain’s only other land border is in the far south with Gibraltar, which is a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom.
