Topography and Drainage Courtesy View of Montefrío, Granada Province Courtesy National Tourist Office of Spain Panoramic view of Jaén Courtesy National Tourist Office of Spain Spanish territory comprises nearly five-sixths of the Iberian Peninsula, which the nation shares with Portugal, the micro-state of Andorra, and the British possession of Gibraltar. Spanish territory also includes two sets of islandsthe Balearic Islands (Spanish, Islas Baleares) in the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands (Spanish, Canarias) in the Atlantic Oceanand two city enclaves in North Africa, Ceuta and Melilla (see fig. 1 ). Peninsular Spain, covering an area of 492,503 square kilometers, consists of a central plateau known as the Meseta Central, which is enclosed by high mountains on its north, south, east, and part of its western sides. The area that is predominantly plateau also encompasses several mountain systems that are lower than the peripheral mountains. Although Spain thus has physical characteristics that make it, to some extent, a natural geographic unit, there are also internal geographic features that tend to compartmentalize the country. The topographical characteristics also generate a variety of climatic regimes throughout the country. By far the greatest part of the country, however, experiences a continental climate of hot, dry summers and rather harsh, cold winters. Where these conditions prevail, the soils have eroded, vegetation is sparse, and agriculture is difficult. Irrigation is practiced where possible, but it is difficult because the flow in most streams is seasonally irregular, and the stream beds of larger rivers are frequently much lower than the adjacent terrain.

In fact, if you travel west from the northwestern coast of Spain, you will end up in the Atlantic Ocean. Spain is a peninsula. What is a peninsula? It is a piece of land surrounded on three sides by water. To Spain's north is the Bay of Biscay. To Spain's south is the Mediterranean Sea. And where there's water, there are beaches, right? This is true in Spain. Spain has lots of beaches. Many of Spain's beaches are world famous. People from all over the world especially enjoy Spain's southern beaches. At Spain's most southern point is a town called Gibraltar. Just 30 miles away is the country of Morocco. Morocco is on the African continent. So what separates Spain from Morocco? It's a thin part of the Mediterranean Sea called the Strait of Gibraltar.

Spain also shares land boundaries with France and Andorra along the Pyrenees in the northeast, with Portugal on the west, and with the small British possession of Gibraltar at the southern tip. Although the affiliation of Gibraltar continued to be a contentious issue between Spain and Britain in the late 1980s, there were no other disputes over land boundaries, and no other country claimed the insular provinces of the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands.

This is due to a combination of factors outlined below, including Spain's geographical location, great variation in the local geography and topography of the Iberian Peninsula, including over short distances, and the correspondingly wide range of microclimates present. Mainland Spain, with its mainly warm and dry southern Mediterranean coasts, cooler, wetter and wilder northern Atlantic coasts, lower southern and higher northern inland plains and a Mediterranean habitats in Extremadura series of high mountain ranges including the Pyrenees, Cantabrican range, Sistema Central and Sierra Nevada amongst others, supports a massive diversity of habitats, and consequently, birds.
