The Portuguese and the Spanish urban systems have developed with their backs to each other as the result of the different historical development of the two nation-states of the Iberian Peninsula. Since 1986, the date of Spain and Portugal’s integration into the European Com-munity, both countries have witnessed the blurring of their common border and the subse-quent appearance and consolidation of several Spanish-Portuguese axes of urban develop-ment. The most important of them all: the Atlantic Axis (A Coruña-Vigo-Porto) will be the subject matter of this paper.
