Of course you can. Spain actually borders Morocco, as there are two Spanish exclaves located on the African mainland. You can also take a ferry across the Strait of Gibraltar or fly.
Portugal and Andorra are the two countries on the Iberian Peninsula that share a border with Spain.

The two countries that led the Age of Exploration were Portugal and Spain. Portugal, under the leadership of figures like Prince Henry the Navigator, focused on maritime exploration along the African coast and the establishment of trade routes to India and the Spice Islands. Spain, driven by explorers such as Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan, sought new territories in the Americas and across the Pacific. Together, their efforts significantly expanded European knowledge of the world and facilitated global trade.
