The southern and eastern lands of Spain are washed by the Mediterranean Sea - it warms up during the season best of all. On its banks are such resorts as Alicante, Salou and others (coasts of Costa -Brava, Costa Daurada.)

But Barcelona, ​​Tarragona, Valencia and some other cities go to that part of the Mediterranean Sea, which in geography is isolated in a separate inner sea - Balearic. It belongs to the part between the coast of Spain and the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, etc.). Further, behind the Valencian gulf again begins the common Mediterranean Sea. The division, I must say, is rather conditional, in fact the Balearic is the Mediterranean.

In addition, Spain has exits not only to the sea, but to the ocean! The Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean share the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar, on the banks of which are Algeciras, Tarifa, Ceuta. On the ocean coast (west and north of the country), Cádiz, Huelva, San Fernando and others are located.

The Canary Islands, belonging to Spain, are also located in the Atlantic Ocean, about 1000 km from the mainland.
