Editing Iberian Peninsula (section)

== Economy and transport ==

The peninsula supports agriculture, manufacturing, energy production, fishing, shipping, tourism, and commercial services. Agricultural regions include the central plateaus, western river valleys, Mediterranean coastal plains, and the Guadalquivir basin.

Atlantic ports in Portugal, Galicia, and northern Spain connect Iberia with northern Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Mediterranean ports provide routes toward Italy, North Africa, and the eastern Mediterranean. The Strait of Gibraltar is the main maritime passage between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.<ref name="southern-europe-transport"/>

Road and railway networks connect the main Iberian cities and ports. International land routes enter France through the eastern and western ends of the Pyrenees. River valleys and coastal plains provide several of the main internal transport corridors.
