Located between France and Spain, in the heart of the Pyrenees, the Principality of Andorra is easy to spot on a map provided, of course, that you know where to look. With its 468 km\u00b2, this small mountainous state could almost go unnoticed. Yet its history, political organization and cultural identity make it a country unlike any other in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andorra is not limited to its ski resorts or shops. The Principality has its own institutions, an official language, a long political history and a society shaped by exchanges with Catalonia, France, Spain and Portugal. Its territory is organized into seven parishes, and the mountains directly influence the way people live, travel and even develop the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To understand Andorra, one must therefore look beyond its status as a microstate. Its system of co-principality, highly international population, Romanesque heritage, relationship with the Catalan language and economic development tell the story of a territory that has learned to preserve its identity while remaining widely open to the outside world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
