This is a great quiz. A good mixture of the straightforward and the challenging. One correction: "Douro" is the Portuguese name for the river. The Spanish name is "Duero" as in the town "Aranda de Duero"

Douro is also the commonly used name in English (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douro), so it's the one that should be used in an test written in English.

Another nice map!

Although you seemed to have forgotten the Anglo-Spanish border at Gibraltar

Good quiz!

But:

- "Don Quijote" (Spanish spelling) should be a type-in for "Don Quixote"

- "Duero" (Spanish name for the river) should be a type-in for "Douro" (this one, which is often used in English, is the Portuguese name)

- "Gernika" should be also accepted for "Guernica", since it's the name of a town in the Basque Country, and the first is the basque name while the second is the Spanish name
