I'm looking at a map! The eastern border of Spain is the pyrenees, and Catalonia lies at the south end of the pyrenees; it as far south as you can go, down the eastern border. North-east Spain lies on the Bay of Biscay; South-east Spain lies on the Mediteranean.

The north-east portion of Spain is the Basque country. That does lie on the Bay of Biscay.

I agree that Catlunya is north of e.g. Madrid, or Grenada, or whatever. But Catalunya is certainly the southernmost part of eastern Spain. Saying it is "the northeast of Spain" is just wrong. Hell, look at the wikipedia link that sibling posted: it's as clear as daylight. You can't go further east without arriving in France; but you can leave Catalunya through it's northern border, without leaving Spain.

Catalunya is therefore not "the northeast of Spain".

It seems like you're mixing up the orientation of the country, as far as the cardinal directions go. It is indeed in the North-Eastern part.

north-eastern corner need not be the same as the northernmost point.

Basque country has the same problem, you cant drive further north without leaving, but you can drive further east without leaving.

You can go further east from Basque country, than you can travel north from Catalonia.

You can't go east from the Basque country without leaving Spain.

Seems like like you don't know your cardinal directions or are trolling. I guess this was obvious from the start, but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt.

What do you think is east of the Pays Basque, if not France? Like, everyone's voting me down, but nobody's setting me straight.
