How to spot Spain from satellite imagery
Mainland Spain includes a broad interior plateau, the Pyrenees in the northeast, and several other mountain belts. The Ebro basin lies south of the Pyrenees, while the Guadalquivir lowlands occupy part of the southwest. Coastal landscapes vary between the Atlantic and Mediterranean sides.
