3. Spain:
Spain is located to the south west of Europe and north of Africa and is surrounded by water on three fronts namely, Mediterranean Sea to the east, Atlantic on the south and the Bay of Biscay to the north. Like Italy, Spain too has a number of islands in its territory and shares the Pyrenees with France on the north.
Amongst the most desirable tourist destination are the Canary Islands present on the northwest coast of Africa. Having five different climatic zones going from sea to the peaks, they have moderate temperatures ranging from 64-75oF in winters and summers respectively. Mount Teide a 12,198-foot volcanic peak located on Tenerife Island, is a perfect skiing spot.
