About Andorra

Geography and Climate

Andorra is a small landlocked country situated in the eastern Pyrenees mountains between France to the north and Spain to the south. Covering just 468 square kilometers, it is one of the smallest states in Europe. The terrain is almost entirely mountainous, with average elevations above 1,000 meters, and peaks such as Coma Pedrosa rising to nearly 3,000 meters. Numerous valleys cut through the highlands, and rivers like the Valira provide water resources that ultimately flow into Spain. Andorra has no coastline, but its natural landscape of alpine meadows and forests makes it a popular destination for mountain tourism. The climate is predominantly alpine, characterized by cold, snowy winters suitable for skiing and mild to warm summers. Lower valleys experience a more temperate climate, while higher elevations have longer and harsher winters, making the country highly seasonal in both weather and tourism activities.

Brief History and Government

The official name of the country is the Principality of Andorra. Unlike most modern states, Andorra has a unique form of government that developed through medieval treaties. Its co-principality system originated in 1278 when the French Count of Foix and the Spanish Bishop of Urgell agreed to share sovereignty. This unusual arrangement continues today, with the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell (Spain) serving as co-princes in a largely ceremonial role. Andorra modernized its political system with the adoption of its first written constitution in 1993, establishing itself as a parliamentary democracy while retaining the co-princes as heads of state. The capital city is Andorra la Vella, which is both the political center and the highest-altitude capital city in Europe.

Population, Language, and Culture

Andorra has an estimated population of about 80,000 people as of 2025, making it one of the smallest countries in Europe in demographic terms. The official language is Catalan, reflecting the country’s cultural ties to Catalonia, but Spanish, French, and Portuguese are also widely spoken due to its geographic location and diverse population. The majority of residents are foreign-born, particularly from Spain, Portugal, and France, creating a multicultural society. Andorra is well known for its folk traditions and festivals, many of which are rooted in Pyrenean culture. A notable cultural aspect is its emphasis on winter sports, especially skiing, which has become not only a recreational activity but also a defining element of national identity and international reputation.

Economy and Currency

Andorra’s economy is primarily driven by tourism, commerce, and banking. The country attracts several million visitors annually, many of whom come for skiing in the Pyrenees or duty-free shopping, as Andorra has historically benefited from its tax advantages. Beyond tourism, retail trade and financial services are important contributors to the economy, with the banking sector once known for banking secrecy before recent reforms aligned it more closely with international transparency standards. Agriculture is limited due to the mountainous terrain, though small-scale livestock farming and tobacco cultivation remain traditional activities. The official currency is the euro (EUR), even though Andorra is not a member of the European Union. Since 2014, Andorra has also issued its own euro coins under a monetary agreement with the EU.

The Postal Code System

Postal services in Andorra are unusual, as the country does not operate an independent national postal service. Instead, mail delivery is provided jointly by the Spanish postal service (Correos) and the French postal service (La Poste), each maintaining offices within the country. Until 2004, Andorra had no official postal codes, and addresses relied on local designations combined with “Andorra la Vella” or other parish names. However, in December 2004, Andorra introduced its own postal code system consisting of five-digit numeric codes, harmonized with international postal standards. The codes are structured so that the first two digits, “AD,” are used as a prefix when written internationally, followed by three numbers representing specific parishes or areas (for example, AD500 for Andorra la Vella). Each of the seven parishes has a designated range of postal codes, which helps streamline the sorting and distribution of mail. While Correos and La Poste continue to manage postal operations, the unified code system ensures Andorra’s integration into global postal networks and provides residents and businesses with more efficient mail handling.
