Spain

Spain, officially known as the Kingdom of Spain, is a diverse and vibrant country located in southwestern Europe, with several territories in North Africa. As the largest nation in Southern Europe, Spain serves as a cultural and political hub, and it holds the distinction of being the fourth-most populous member of the European Union.

The country primarily occupies the majority of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with Portugal, and also includes notable archipelagos such as the Canary Islands in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Balearic Islands in the western Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, Spain features two autonomous cities, Ceuta and Melilla, located on the northern coast of Africa.
