Spain is just bigger than twice the size of Oregon. The land ranges from beaches, mountains, dry plains, and rollings plains. Most of the Spanish mainland is a plateau called the Meseta. The country is divided into 17 autonomous communities, similar to the states of the U.S. The diverse geography of each region gives each community its own distinct identity.
