What is Iberia? (EP 36)

Iberia is everywhere in Spain: the airline, the ham, the lynx, the wolf, the peninsula itself. So what is it? Iberia is the piece of land in the far southwest of Europe that Spain sits on. Spain covers most of it, Portugal covers most of the rest, and Andorra, Gibraltar, and a sliver of France take up the remainder. Iberia has never been a country. It's a geographic name, and it's older than Spain, older than Portugal, and older than the Romans.
Greek sailors coined it around 2,600 years ago after a river they called the Iberus, which we know today as the Ebro. In this episode Marti Buckley explains where the name comes from, why the Romans replaced it with Hispania (the word that became España), who the original Iberians were, and why their language can be read aloud but still can't be translated. She also explains why Portugal is Iberian, why the ham and the lynx carry the name, and whether anyone in Spain thinks of themselves as Iberian.
