The Pyrenees (French: Pyr?n?es; Spanish: Pirineos; Occitan: Piren?us or Piren?as; Catalan Pirineus; Aragonese: Perin?s; Basque: Pirinioak) are a range of mountains in southwest Europe that form a natural border between France and Spain. They separate the Iberian Peninsula from France, and extend for about 430km (267 mi) from the Bay of Biscay on the Atlantic Ocean to Cap de Creus on the Mediterranean Sea.

For the most part the main crest forms the Franco-Spanish frontier, with the principality of Andorra sandwiched between them. The principal exception to this rule is formed by the Val d'Aran, which belongs to Spain but lies on the north face of the range. Other minor orographical anomalies include the Cerdagne fall and the Spanish exclave of the town Ll?via.
