Closest Bodies of Water to Spain

Spain is bordered by two major marine bodies:

• Atlantic Ocean – north (Bay of Biscay), west (Galicia, Portugal border), southwest (Gulf of Cádiz).
• Mediterranean Sea – east and south (Costa Brava, Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, Alboran Sea).

The Strait of Gibraltar (14 km wide) connects them. Spain also has coast on the Cantabrian Sea (southern Bay of Biscay) and the Balearic Sea (around Balearic Islands).

No landlocked point in Spain is >~500 km from either ocean.
