The Iberian Peninsula is a vast and diverse region, covering an area of approximately 590,000 square kilometers (227,900 sq mi). The region’s terrain is characterized by a mix of mountains, valleys, and coastal plains. The Pyrenees Mountains form the northern border of Iberia, separating it from France and Andorra. The Cantabrian Mountains and the Sistema Ibérico mountain ranges run through the northern and central parts of the peninsula, respectively.
The coastal regions of Iberia are equally varied, with the Mediterranean coast featuring a mix of sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, and deltaic plains. The Atlantic coast, on the other hand, is generally rockier and more rugged, with numerous estuaries and fjords. map iberia
