    Geography
    Gibraltar is situated in latitude 36o07'N and longitude 05o21 and stands out, steeply and suddenly, from the adjoining low-lying Spanish Territory to which it is connected by a sandy isthmus about 1 mile long and 1/2 mile wide. Five miles across the Bay of Gibraltar to the East lies the Spanish port of Algeciras and 20 miles across the Strait, to the south of Africa. The Mediterranean lies to the East. The distance to Britain is approximately 1,400 miles by sea.
    The Rock runs from north to south for a length of nearly 3 miles. It is 3/4 miles wide and has a total area of 21/4 square miles. Although there has been a land increase due to reclamation, the use of square miles as a measurement of area does not reflect this difference or increase. Its highest point is 1,396 feet. The top of the Rock is a sharp, knife-ridge extending for about a mile and a half from the north escarpment, which is virtually inaccessible, and then sloping gradually to the south for about a mile, to terminate at the southern extremity, Europa Point, in perpendicular cliffs about a hundred feet high. The whole upper length of the eastern face is inaccessible and the steep upper half of the western slopes is uninhabited and has been designated a nature reserve.
    Geologically, Gibraltar may be divided into two main parts. The first is the plain to the north which consists of sand to a depth of some 30 feet, followed by some 4 feet of clay, a bed of coarse sand 21/4 feet thick and lime-stone. The second is a mass of the Rock itself southwards from the north cliff to Europa Point consisting of compact grey limestone probably of Jurassic age, overlaid in parts with dark shale, limestone breccia or sands.

    Geography of Spain
    World Facts Index Spain Map of Spain Spanish territory comprises nearly five-sixths of the Iberian Peninsula, which the nation shares with Portugal, the micro-state of Andorra, and the British possession of Gibraltar. Spanish territory also includes two sets of islandsthe Balearic Islands (Spanish, Islas Baleares) in the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands (Spanish, Canarias) in the Atlantic Oceanand two city enclaves in North Africa, Ceuta and Melilla. Peninsular Spain, covering an area of 492,503 square kilometers, consists of a central plateau known as the Meseta Central, which is enclosed by high mountains on its north, south, east, and part of its western sides. The area that is predominantly plateau also encompasses several mountain systems that are lower than the peripheral mountains. Although Spain thus has physical characteristics that make it, to some extent, a natural geographic unit, there are also internal geographic features that tend to compartmentalize the country. The topographical characteristics also generate a variety of climatic regimes throughout the country. By far the greatest part of the country, however, experiences a continental climate of hot, dry summers and rather harsh, cold winters. Where these conditions prevail, the soils have eroded, vegetation is sparse, and agriculture is difficult. Irrigation is practiced where possible, but it is difficult because the flow in most streams is seasonally irregular, and the stream beds of larger rivers are frequently much lower than the adjacent terrain.

    T he Strait of Gibraltar links the North Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea. The Strait runs between the southern coast of Spain and the northern coast of Morocco. Gibraltar, a territory of the United Kingdom, is located off the south coast of Spain on the Mediterranean side of the strait. The famous Rock of Gibraltar is located here, rising 426 meters (1400 feet) above sea level. The Gibraltar peninsula has long been a strategic military site and a point of contention between Britain and Spain.

Gibraltar is the thin peninsula extending from the south coast of Spain on the Mediterranean side of the strait. The Gibraltar peninsula and Spain delineate Gibraltar Bay. Along the Atlantic coast of Spain is the city of Cadiz with the mouth of the Guadalquivir River visible to the north.
