It also shares borders with Morocco, as the two Spanish enclaves Ceuta and Melilla are located within Morocco. The name of Spain (España) comes from Hispania, the name used by the Romans for the Iberian Peninsula and its provinces during the Roman Empire. The etymological origin of the term Hispania is uncertain, although the Phoenicians referred to the region as Spania (meaning "Land of rabbits"), therefore, the most accepted theory is the Phoenician one. Spain is separated from the African continent by the Straits of Gibraltar, which connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea. The narrowest point of the Straits of Gibraltar between the two continents Europe and Africa is 14.3 km/ 8.9 miles wide. The Pyrenees mountain ranges form a natural border with the tiny country of Andorra and with France in the north. Portugal lies to the west of Spain. The three largest cities in Spain are Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. Spain related toursSorry, we have no any pre-designed tour passing trough this place yet.
