The Kingdom of Spain is the largest of the three sovereign nations that make up the Iberian peninsula—the others are Portugal and Andorra—located in southwestern Europe. To the west (and, in Galicia, south), it borders Portugal. To the south, it borders Gibraltar and, through its cities in North Africa (Ceuta and Melilla), Morocco. To the northeast, along the Pyrenees mountain range, it borders France and the tiny principality of Andorra. It 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.

Spain is one of the most liberal, inexpensive and wave rich nations in Europe. The Spanish coastline gets swell thrown at it from every conceivable direction AND it has some of the craziest, day-n-night summer fiestas on the planet! We hardly need to twist your arm.
