Abstract: Abstract Spain is located in southwestern Europe, on the Iberian Peninsula. It occupies, together with Portugal and Andorra, the westernmost of all three southern peninsular zones of Mediterranean Europe. Thanks to its privileged geographical position, the Iberian Peninsula has, all through its history, been a vital gateway between the European Continent, Northern Africa, and America. As a result, there have been many migrations of various people into Spain: in addition to its original people, the Celts, the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Visigoths, and the Arabs and other Muslims, as well as people from other parts of Europe and from all over the world, who, in the contemporary period, have helped make up a diverse society.
