The Kingdom of Spain (Spanish and Galician: Reino de España
or España; Catalan: Regne d'Espanya; Basque: Espainiako
Erresuma). To west (and, in Galicia, south), it borders Portugal.
To south, it borders Gibraltar and Morocco. To the northeast,
along the Pyrenees mountain range, it borders France and the
tiny principality of Andorra. It includes the Balearic Islands
in the Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic
Ocean, the cities of Ceuta and Melilla in north Africa, and
a number of uninhabited islands on the Mediterranean side
of the strait of Gibraltar, known as Plazas de soberanía,
such as the Chafarine islands, the "rocks" (peñones)
of Vélez and Alhucemas, and the tiny Isla Perejil (disputed).
In the Northeast along the Pyrenees, a small exclave town
called Llívia in Catalonia is surrounded by French
territory.
