Landmarks Castles Sacred & Religious Sites

The westernmost portion of the European continent, Iberia encompasses Spain, Portugal, and Andorra. Separated from France by the towering Pyrenees, this region has often taken a different historical path from the rest of Europe, developing a distinct gastronomy, religious customs, and artistic traditions. Proudly retaining much of their age-old way of life to this day, the Basque people settled the area thousands of years ago. The peninsula took on a markedly non-European character under the rule of Islamic Berbers and Arabic Moors, which lasted until the 15th century. Follow in the footsteps of these exotic conquerors by adding World Heritage cities Cordoba, Toledo, and Evora to your Iberia itinerary. Iberia is in Europe.
