Is Spain in the eastern hemisphere?

Answer 1

Spain is north of the equator so it is in the northern hemisphere. The Prime Meridian runs through Spain so it is in both the eastern, and western, hemispheres, but it is predominantly in the Western Hemisphere.

Answer 2

Spain is clearly in the Northern Hemisphere. There is some dispute as to whether it is in the Eastern or Western Hemisphere.

If you go with a literal definition between Eastern and Western Hemispheres occurring at the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line, then Spain is overwhelming in the Western Hemisphere, but has a small percentage in the Eastern Hemisphere. However, many people use the term "Eastern Hemisphere" to refer to any country in the Old World, for which Spain certainly qualifies. Therefore, in this more colloquial understanding, Spain is an Eastern Hemisphere country.

Since the Prime Meridian runs through Spain it is in both the eastern and western hemisphere. Since it is north of the equator it is also in the northern hemisphere.
