In the rest of Iberia, Greek activity was mainly commercial, not calling for the establishment of permanent settlements: at most there might have been coastal towns in which stable Greek communities could have existed, although only at certain periods. Thus, instead of talking about 'colonisation', current research favours the more neutral term 'presence'.

Two myths concerning British prehistory tenaciously maintain their hold on the popular imagination. The first is that the Druids built Stonehenge. The second is that the Phoenicians came to Cornwall for tin, which they supplied to all the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean and the Near East. The story is so firmly embedded in the south-west that it is commonly set down as a general introductory remark to prove the antiquity of Cornish mining in otherwise authoritative books dealing with recent aspects of Cornish economic history.
TheTagus may have attracted the Phoenicians because of its alluvial gold resources mentioned by Pliny (NH IV. 115): however, it was also important because, as the largest river in the Peninsula, it provided access deep into the interior of Iberia and acted as a channel whereby the tin, silver and copper of Extremadura could all easily reach the coast. Judging by the close parallels between the Phoenician pottery found in Lisbon and Almaraz, and that produced by the colonial sites in Andalusia, as well as by the proliferation of orientalizing luxury goods found in the areas alongside the Tagus (around Cáceres and Toledo), the river was an important route for Phoenician trade.
