What Is the Spanish Peninsula Called?

The correct name is the Iberian Peninsula (also called Iberia or the Hispanic Peninsula). Located in southwestern Europe, it comprises Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and the British territory of Gibraltar.

It is Europe's second-largest peninsula after Scandinavia and the fourth-largest globally. Bordered by the Bay of Biscay (north), Atlantic Ocean (west, south, southwest), and Mediterranean Sea (east), its geography has shaped millennia of history, culture, and trade.
