Which Countries Border Spain?

Spain shares land borders with five distinct entities on the Iberian Peninsula and its African enclaves:

  • Portugal — to the west (the longest uninterrupted border in the EU).
  • France — to the northeast, separated by the Pyrenees mountains.
  • Andorra — a tiny independent principality also in the Pyrenees, nestled between Spain and France.
  • Gibraltar (UK) — a British Overseas Territory on the southern tip, controlling the entrance to the Mediterranean.
  • Morocco — via the Spanish autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla on the North African coast.

Additionally, Spain has maritime borders with Algeria and Italy (via the Balearic Islands).
