Valencia is one of the 17 autonomous communities that comprise Spain, where in, it is found in the central up to the southeastern region of the Iberian Peninsula.  It is noted as bordering Catalonia to the north, Aragon and Castile-La Mancha to the west, the region of Murcia to the south, and the Mediterranean Sea to the east.  It is divided into the three provinces, namely Alicante, Valencia, and Castellón.

Its Mediterranean coast actually stretches towards the 518 kilometer unspoiled coastline of Costa del Azahar. Translated as the Orange Blossom Coast, it is the collective name for the coast of the three provinces that comprises the Valencian Community, extending from Alcanar to the Cabo de la Nao.  It is endowed with miles of beautiful golden sandy beaches, fragrant lemon and orange groves, and secret coves bathed by the clear, warm Mediterranean Sea.  Found on this coast are the famous towns of Peñíscola, Benicàssim, Castellón de la Plana, Sagunt, Valencia, Cullera, Gandia, Denia, and Xàbia.

Extremadura is an autonomous community located in the western region of Spain.  Roughly the size of Belgium, the region is spread over an area measuring 41,634 square kilometers.  It is one of the least populated regions in Spain, with its population totaling to 1,083,879, as of 2005. 

Extremadura is divided into the provinces of Caceres in the north, and Badajoz in the south.  Bordering it is Portugal to the west, the provinces of Salamanca and Ávila in Castile and León to the north, the provinces of Huelva, Seville, and Córboda in Andalusia to the south, and the provinces of Toledo and Ciudad Real in Castile-La Mancha to the east.

Locked between Portugal and the central plains, Extremadura’s terrain is characterized by lush forests, majestic mountain ranges, and agricultural plains dotted with hamlets and towns that seemingly have not changed with the passing of time.  Its mountain system includes the sierras of the Sistema Central, which rises to the north, and consists of the Sierra de Gredos, Sierra de Béjar, and Sierra de Gata, which separates Extremadura from Castile. At the center of the region rises the Sierra de las Villuercas and the Sierra de San Pedro, while to the south rises the Sierra Morena, separating Extremadura from Andalusia.

Galicia is one of the seventeen autonomous communities that make up Spain.  Located at the northwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula, it borders Portugal to the south, the Spanish regions of Asturias and Castile and León to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east and west.  It is comprised of the provinces of LaCoruña, Pontevedra, Lugo, and Ourense, all of which are named after their capital cities.

Galicia is dubbed as the “land of One Thousand Rivers”, where in, these rivers cross all-over the region from the mountainous inland down to the coast, forming the raise.  These are estuaries that were filled with in with the rising sea levels after the Ice Age.  Divided into the Rías Altas and the Rías Baixas, they make the coast an important fishing area.  This earned the coast its dub as the “Seafood Coast” or the “A Costa do Marisco" in Galician.  The coast, on the other hand, is quite an attraction in itself, with the spectacular contrast of its smooth beaches of As Mariñas to the perilous cliffs of Costa de la Muerte.  Its terrain is composed of dense Atlantic forests, green hills, cliffs, and rias, which are features that are not commonly understood as a Spanish landscape.

Sevilla is a province located in the western region of Andalusia, an autonomous community found in the southern region of Spain.  Bordering it is the province of Bajadoz of the autonomous community of Extremadura, and the Andalusian provinces of Málaga, Cádiz, Huelva, and Córdoba.  Its total land area of 14,042 square kilometers is politically subdivided into 105 municipalities.  Serving as the provincial capital is the city of Seville, where 40% of its population of 1,758,720 resides.  Sevilla is the largest province, in terms of land area, as well as the most populated in the region.

The province’s landscape is predominantly marked by one of Spain’s most important rivers, the Guadalquivir.  The city of Seville is sprawled right at the heart of the river valley, with many other important provincial towns and villages dotted around the Guadalquivir river Plain, called La Campiña, interwoven with fields of wheat and olive groves.
