Due to Spain‘s geographical situation and orographic conditions, the climate is extremely diverse; discounting the mountain climate, it can be roughly divided into five areas:
- A Continental Mediterranean climate in the inland areas of the Peninsula (largest city, Madrid).
- A semiarid climate or arid Mediterranean in the southwest (largest city, Murcia).
- A Mediterranean climate region extends from the Andalusian plain along the southern and eastern coasts up to the Pyrenees, on the seaward side of the mountain ranges that run near the coast. Also in Ceuta and Melilla (largest city, Barcelona).
- An Oceanic climate in Galicia and the coastal strip near the Bay of Biscay or (largest city, Bilbao). This area is often called Green Spain.
- A Subtropical climate in the Canary Islands.
