-- '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
