Border between Spain and Portugal
Border between Spain and Portugal.
The Portugal-Spain border, known by the epithet of "la Raya" in the Spanish language and "A Raia" in the Portuguese language (the stripe), is the line that divides the territories of Portugal and Spain. It is the oldest frontier in Europe, with some limits established since the time of the Condado Portucalense and the Kingdom of León.
More broadly, it is also the geographic space on both sides of the political frontier where people share historical, linguistic, cultural and economic elements.
