Located in the Iberian peninsula and bordering France, Andorra, Portugal and the British territory of Gibraltar, Spain is the second largest country in Western Europe. With the restoration of democracy in 1978, Spain once again became a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament and prime minister, with a strong degree of autonomy for various provinces. As a major arrival point for migrants to Europe, concerns have been raised over treatment and processing of unaccompanied children, along with the treatment of the Roma minority.
