Pyrenees topographic map-en.svg

The Pyrenees are a range of mountains in southwest Europe that form a natural border between France and Spain. The semi-autonomous state of Andorra is in this range. They separate the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of continental Europe, and extend for about 430 km (267 mi) from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean Sea.
