Spain, officially the Kingdom of Spain, is a sovereign state located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern
Europe. Its mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land
boundary with Gibraltar; to the north and northeast by France, Andorra; and to the west and northwest by
Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean.
Along with France and Morocco, it is one of only three countries to have both Atlantic and Mediterranean
coastlines.
Spain's 1,214 km (754 mi) border with Portugal is the longest uninterrupted border within the European
Union.
VISITING JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA
Jerez de la Frontera is a municipality in the province of Cádiz in the autonomous community of Andalusia
in southwestern Spain, situated midway between the sea and the mountains.
Jerez de la Frontera is also, in terms of land area, the largest municipality in the province, and its sprawling
outlying areas are a fertile zone for agriculture. There are also many cattle ranches and horse-breeding
operations, as well as a world-renowned wine industry.
Jerez is known as the world capital of sherry wine, as well as for being a center of horsemanship and
flamenco dancing.
It is the home of the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, a riding school comparable to the
world-famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna. Jerez, the city where flamenco singing began, is also proud
of its Andalusian Centre of Flamenco.
There are two museums of note: the Jerez Archaeological Museum and the Atalaya Watch Museum.
