Which sea borders Spain to the south and east?

Which sea borders Spain to the south and east?

• A. The Mediterranean
• B. The Baltic Sea
• C. The Red Sea
• D. The Black Sea

Answer: (A)

The sea that borders Spain to the south and east is the Mediterranean Sea. Spain sits on the Iberian Peninsula, and its southern and eastern coasts run along the Mediterranean, touching regions like Andalucía, Murcia, Valencia, and Catalonia. The other seas listed aren’t near Spain: the Baltic Sea is up in northern Europe, the Red Sea lies between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and the Black Sea is to the northeast of Turkey. So the Mediterranean is the only one that borders Spain in those directions.
