-- 'Longitude' has nothing to do with how far south a place is.

-- Spain extends farther than Portugal, both north and south.

So all of Portugal is farther south than any place in a strip of Spain north of it,

and a strip of southern Spain is farther south than any pace in Portugal.

I have an analogy that I know won't be understood by the person who posted

this question, but others who happen to be passing through may appreciate it.

It's very much like asking "Which is farther from Africa . . . Kansas or the USA ?"
