The stretching, golden coastline is, of course popular with tourists, but there are many other natural beauties in Spain if the traveller would like to escape from the coast. Mountains: The 'Meseta' (Central Plateau): The Central Plateau is the largest in Europe and has always been dominant throughout Spain's history. It is an agricultural region where the classic crops of Spain are grown e.g cereals, grapes and olives. To the east of the Meseta there is a coastal fringe bathed by the waters of the Bay of Biscay. This area is known as 'Green Spain', a wet area producing a wide range leafy, woodland vegetation. Green Spain: The ocean and mountain come together in this region to create a wet climate where green vegetation flourishes. In the north of Spain, the Basque Country contains meadows, beaches and winding paths to hilltop retreats. The fishing harbours here have kept their strong local flavour and can be seen as an example of traditional Spain. Inland areas The Meseta, opens out onto another of Spain's most impressive areas of scenery.

Geography Home Page Spain Introduction Spain Background: Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating civil war (1936-39). In the second half of the 20th century, Spain has played a catch-up role in the western international community; it joined the EU in 1986. Continuing challenges include Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) terrorism and further reductions in unemployment. zSB(3,3) Geography Spain Location: Southwestern Europe, bordering the Bay of Biscay, Mediterranean Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, and Pyrenees Mountains, southwest of France
