Spain is one of the ancient countries in Europe and together with her close neighbour Portugal, occupies Iberian peninsula - a vast block of land in the extreme south - west corner of Europe.
　　Spain is a land of mountains and plateaus. It is one of the more mountainous countries of Europe. Most of its people are crowded into narrow stripe of coastal lowland along the Bay of Biscay to the north and the Mediterranean Sea to the south and east.

　　In most parts of Spain water is scarce, and because of this it is a precious commodity that people never waste. Door-to-door water-sellers are still a common sight in poor areas.

　
　　Spain has a variety climate; in most parts the climate is extremely harsh. Up on the Meaeta in the center of the country the winter are long and cold, with icy winds blowing down from the mountains, and occasional downpours or snowfalls. In the summer months the temperature shoots right up and the sun beats down from a blue, cloudless sky.

　　西班牙是歐洲一個古老的國家，毗鄰葡萄牙，位于歐洲西南角的伊比利亞半島上。

　　西班牙的國土由高山和高原組成，是歐洲一個多山的國家。多數(shù)人居住在北部沿比斯坎海灣、南部和東部沿地中海狹長的臨海低地。

　　在西班牙的大部分地區(qū),水很缺乏,正因?yàn)槿绱?水成了人們從不浪費(fèi)的珍貴的商品。在貧困地區(qū)，人們常常可以看到挨家挨戶賣水的人。

　　
　　西班牙的天氣很無常，大多數(shù)地區(qū)的氣候也很惡劣。在西班牙的中部地區(qū)梅塞塔高原，冬季寒冷而漫長，刺骨的冷風(fēng)從山上吹下來，時而驟雨，時而大雪。在夏季，溫度會陡然升高，晴空無云，烈日炎炎.
