The Iberian Peninsula has a Mediterranean climate. Warm, dry summers and cold, wet winters.
There's an Oceanic climate along the northern coast.
Don't forget about the semiarid climate in the South, so they're pretty dry down there!
Spain is a temperate deciduous forest biome. Mediterranean climates give plenty of rain, so big forests can grow.
