Spain is located in the Iberian Peninsula and borders with France and Portugal.
It is almost twice as big Italy.
At the center of Spain is a large plateau called the Meseta; around the
Meseta there are many mountain ranges.
In Spain the rivers are poor water in summer and water rich in winter; it is said
who have an irregular water flow.
The climate is of three types:
1) on the north coast the climate is oceanic; the winds that come from the ocean
Atlantic bring rain and the temperature is mild;
2) in the Meseta, the climate is continental; summers are hot and winters are cold;
3) on the southern coast the climate is Mediterranean; warm and with little rain in
summer and with mild temperatures during the winter

Meseta. It is the capital since 1561; first it was
a small town surrounded by
fields where they raised sheep.
