The border is defined by the Pyrenees mountain range, which forms a natural barrier between the two countries.
It starts in the west at the Bay of Biscay, where the French city of Hendaye meets the Spanish city of Irun.
The border then runs east along the Pyrenees to the sovereign nation of Andorra, which interrupts the border for a short distance.
It continues east to the Mediterranean Sea at Cerbère in France and Portbou in Spain.
At France, it covers Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrénées, Haute-Garonne, Ariège, Pyrénées orientales, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and Occitanie.
In Spain, areas such as Basque Country, Navarra, Aragon, and Catalonia are close to the border.
