Question

Name the countries across whose borders the Pyrenees stretch.

Answer 1

The Pyrenees (/ˈpɪrɪniːz/; Spanish: Pirineos [piɾiˈneos], French: Pyrénées [piʁene], Aragonese: Pirineus, Catalan: Pirineus [piɾiˈnɛus], Occitan: Pirenèus, Basque: Pirinioak [piˈɾinioˌak]) is a range of mountains in southwest Europe that forms a natural border between Spain and France. Reaching a height of 3,404 metres (11,168 ft) altitude at the peak of Aneto, the range separates the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of continental Europe, and extends for about 491 km (305 mi) from the Bay of Biscay (Cap Higuer) to the Mediterranean Sea (Cap de Creus).

For the most part, the main crest forms a divide between Spain and France, with the microstate of Andorra sandwiched in between. The Principality of Catalonia alongside with the Kingdom of Aragon in the Crown of Aragon, Occitania and the Kingdom of Navarre have historically extended on both sides of the mountain range, with smaller northern portions now in France and larger southern parts now in Spain.[1][2]

Answer 2

France, Spain, and Andorra are the countries that border the Pyrenees stretch.

Explanation:

• This stretch ranges from Atlantic to Mediterranean coast. However, both the ends of a stretch have different cultural characteristics. It literary separates the region of Spain from the rest of Europe thereby protecting and preserving its culture somehow.
• Andorra lies on the mountain range thereby the Pyrenees engulfing it completely. Meanwhile forming a natural barrier between the other involved two countries. It is characterised by beautiful relief patterns. However, it played an important role in history during the world wars.
