From the Spain World / Areas

Spain at a Glance

Spain spans the Iberian mainland, the Mediterranean Balearic Islands and the Atlantic Canary Islands. Its mountain ranges and varied coasts make the choice of region central to a trip.

Spain at a Glance

Why go

Build a journey around a clear contrast: Madrid's art museums and Castilian plateau, Andalusia's Islamic and Christian architecture, the greener Atlantic north, or the islands. These places offer different landscapes and cultural traditions, so a first trip benefits from choosing a few connected regions rather than treating Spain as one uniform destination.

What to look for

  • The Pyrenees mark the northeastern edge of mainland Spain.
  • The Balearic Islands lie in the Mediterranean; the Canaries lie off northwest Africa.
  • The Meseta Central is the broad plateau at the heart of the peninsula.
