The point exactly opposite New Zealand's center through the Earth's core
If you dug a tunnel straight through the Earth's center from New Zealand, you'd surface nearest to Gimialcón, Spain, about 3 km from the exact antipodal point — most of the Earth's surface opposite any given point is open ocean, so an exact land match is rare.
