Top 11 Most Fascinating International Borders in the World

8. Portugal – Spain

Portugal-Spain
The Portugal–Spain border is the international boundary between Portugal and Spain. Referred to as “la Raya” in Spanish and “A Raia” in Portuguese, the current demarcation is almost identical to that defined in 1297 by the Treaty of Alcañices.

It is one thing to play volleyball on the international border of two great nations, but ziplining from Spain to Portugal just takes things to a whole new level. The zip line here is a little less than half a mile long and may very well be the most exciting way to travel, border crossing or not. As an added quirk, you actually gain an hour of time when you land in Portugal because it happens to be in a different time zone than Spain.

You can see a video of the zipline in action below.
