Iberian Plateau, Geographic plateau in central Spain and Portugal

The Iberian Plateau extends across 500,000 square kilometers at an elevation of 600 meters, dividing into Northern and Southern sections with distinct climates.

The plateau served as a strategic territory during Roman times, with ancient roads connecting settlements and facilitating trade throughout the Iberian Peninsula.

Traditional agricultural practices shape daily life across the plateau, where farmers cultivate wheat, grapes, and olives according to seasonal patterns.

Travelers can explore the plateau through an extensive network of highways connecting Madrid to smaller towns, with numerous accommodations available throughout the region.

The plateau functions as a natural water tower, giving rise to major rivers like the Tagus and Douro that flow westward through Spain and Portugal.
