Despite its small size, Andorra boasts a rich history and unique traditions that are deeply rooted in its Catalan origins. The country is situated in the eastern Pyrenees, between France and Spain, and has a population of approximately 77,000 people. The official languages of Andorra are Catalan, Spanish, and French, and the country has two co-princes, the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell in Spain. Andorra is renowned for its picturesque scenery, with mountains, valleys, and rivers creating breathtaking landscapes. The country is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts, with skiing and snowboarding being the most popular activities. Andorra is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the old stone bridge of Pont de la Margineda and the iconic medieval castle of Sant Joan de Caselles. Furthermore, Andorra has a strong economy, thanks in large part to its status as a tax haven, with numerous financial services available to businesses and individuals.
