Skiing in AndorraYou can say it in Française, Español or even English. Andorra is so beautiful and friendly.Located in the Pyrénées mountain range between France and Spain, the Principality (actually the autonomous parliamentary co-principality) of Andorra takes up just 450 square kilometers. Andorra is known both for duty-free goods and some quality skiing, with Soldeu being the largest resort.The official language of Andorra is Catalan, but many Andorrans also speak Spanish and/or French. The capital, Andorra la Vella, is 226 km (140 miles) from Barcelona, Spain, and 180 km (112 miles) from Toulouse, France. An estimated 13 million people visit this tiny country each year, and the economy is heavily dependent on tourism (80% of GDP).
