Spain

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

Anciently the whole peninsula of southwestern Europe, embracing Spain and Portugal; known to Greeks as Iberia and to Romans as Hispania

If identical with Tarshish, then known to Hebrews in Solomon’s time; certainly to Phoenicians. Known to Paul, who contemplated a visit to it (Rom. 15:24-28²⁴Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company. ²⁵But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. ²⁶For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. ²⁷It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. ²⁸When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. (Romans 15:24‑28)). Christianity early introduced there.

Concise Bible Dictionary:

The well-known country in Europe. It is mentioned in the New Testament only in relation to Paul’s purpose to visit it; but it is not known whether he went there between his first and second imprisonments or not (Rom. 15:24, 28²⁴Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company. (Romans 15:24)
²⁸When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. (Romans 15:28)).
