Spain
Spain covers an area of half a million square kilometres and has a coastline of 2,100 kilometres. Spain includes both the Canary and Balearic Islands. It is the second largest country in Europe after France. The interior of Spain is a vast plateau called the Meseta bound to the north east by the Pyrenees, in the south west by the Sierra Morena and in the south by the Sierra Nevada. Across the Meseta itself rivers have cut many deep valleys. Much of the coastline is steep and rocky but there is a narrow coastal plain bordering the Mediterranean.
Spain's principal cities are Madrid, situated in the geographical centre of the country; the seat of central government and an important commercial centre, followed by Barcelona, a commercial and industrial city with a large port close to France.
