Ibes

Ibes, also known as Iberia or the Iberian Peninsula, is a large peninsula located in southwestern Europe. It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the east and south, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Bay of Biscay to the north. The Pyrenees Mountains form a natural barrier separating the peninsula from the rest of Europe to the northeast. Politically, the Iberian Peninsula is primarily occupied by Spain and Portugal, with Andorra also located within its borders. A small British Overseas Territory, Gibraltar, is situated at the southern tip. The geography of Ibes is diverse, ranging from the high plateaus of the Meseta Central in Spain to the rugged coastlines and fertile river valleys. Major rivers include the Tagus, Ebro, Douro, and Guadalquivir. The climate varies significantly across the peninsula, from Mediterranean in the south and east to oceanic in the north and west, and continental in the interior. Historically, the Iberian Peninsula has been a crossroads of cultures, influenced by Romans, Visigoths, Moors, and various European powers. This rich history is reflected in its diverse languages, traditions, architecture, and cuisine. The region is known for its significant biodiversity, with varied ecosystems supporting a wide range of flora and fauna.
