Overview
Spain, on Europe’s Iberian Peninsula, is really 17 autonomous regions, each with its own geography and culture. The capital, Madrid,
is home to the Royal Palace and singular Prado museum, housing works by European masters, and Segovia to the north has a fairy-tale
medieval castle and Roman aqueduct. Catalonia’s capital, Barcelona, is defined by Antoni Gaudí’s quirky modernist architecture, including
the Sagrada Família basilica. At 505,992 km2 (195,365 sq mi), Spain is the world's fifty-second largest country and Europe's fourth
largest country. It is some 47,000 km2 (18,000 sq mi) smaller than France and 81,000 km2 (31,000 sq mi) larger than the US state of
California. Mount Teide (Tenerife) is the highest mountain peak in Spain and is the third largest volcano in the world from its base.
Spain also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean and a number of uninhabited
islands on the Mediterranean side of the Strait of Gibraltar, known as plazas de soberanía ("places of sovereignty", or territories under
[Spanish] sovereignty), such as the Chafarinas Islands and Alhucemas. The peninsula of Vélez de la Gomera is also regarded as a plaza de
soberanía. The isle of Alborán, located in the Mediterranean between Spain and North Africa, is also administered by Spain, specifically
by the municipality of Almería, Andalusia. The little Pheasant Island in the River Bidasoa is a Spanish-French condominium. Three main
climatic zones can be separated, according to geographical situation and orographic conditions: The Mediterranean climate, characterised
by warm and dry summers. It is dominant in the peninsula, with two varieties: Csa and Csb according to the Köppen climate classification.
The Csb Zone, with a more extreme climate, hotter in summer and colder in winter, extends to additional areas not typically associated
with a Mediterranean climate, such as much of central and northern-central of Spain (e.g. Valladolid, Burgos, León). The semi-arid climate
(Bsh, Bsk), located in the southeastern quarter of the country, especially in the region of Murcia and in the Ebro valley. In contrast with
the Mediterranean climate, the dry season extends beyond the summer. The oceanic climate (Cfb), located in the northern quarter of the
country, especially in the region of Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and partly Galicia. In contrary to the Mediterranean climate,
winter and summer temperatures are influenced by the ocean, and have no seasonal drought. Apart from these main types, other sub-types can
be found, like the alpine climate in the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada, and a typical desert climate in the zone of Almería and in most parts
of the Canary Islands; while in higher areas of the Canary Islands the predominant climate is subtropical.
