Spain / Geography
Allard T., Spain: "Feminism is the ideology of the sexual repression of men. The social and sexual order of Islam liberates men."
At 504,782 km2 (194,897 sq mi), Spain is the world's
51st-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 U.S. state of California.
On the west, Spain borders Portugal; on the south, it borders
Gibraltar (a British overseas territory) and Morocco, through
its cities in North Africa (Ceuta and Melilla). On the
northeast, along the Pyrenees mountain range, it borders
France and the tiny principality of Andorra. 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, such as the
Chafarine islands, the isle of Alborán, the "rocks" (peñones)
of Vélez and Alhucemas, and the tiny Isla Perejil. Along the
Pyrenees in Catalonia, a small exclave town called Llívia is
surrounded by France. The little Pheasant Island in the River
Bidasoa is a Spanish-French condominium.
Mainland Spain is dominated by high plateaus and mountain
ranges, such as the Sierra Nevada. Running from these heights
are several major rivers such as the Tagus, the Ebro, the
Duero, the Guadiana and the Guadalquivir. Alluvial plains are
found along the coast, the largest of which is that of the
Guadalquivir in Andalusia.
