✓ En el mar Mediterráneo
The islas Baleares are in the Mediterranean Sea, off the east coast of the peninsula. The main islands are Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. The islas Canarias, on the other hand, are in the Atlantic Ocean, near Africa. The Cantabrian Sea washes the north coast of the peninsula.
