In the beginning, Spain endured a diversified number of cultures. Around 1600 B.C., the Iberians arrived in Spain.

Shortly after, several kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula merged to form what is modern-day Spain.
Spain is located in southwestern Europe and occupies approximately 80% of the Iberian Peninsula. It shares the west side of the peninsula with Portugal and is separated from France in the northeast by the Pyrenees Mountains.
