Almost hidden on the border between France and Spain, the tiny principality of Andorra is a land of narrow valleys and mountainous landscapes.
The mainstay of the economy is tourism

Tradition holds that Charles the Great (Charlemagne) granted a charter to Andorran people in return for their fighting the Moors. Overlordship of the territory passed to the local count of Urgell and eventually to the bishop of the diocese of Urgell. In the eleventh century a dispute arose between the bishop and his northern neighbour over Andorra.
The conflict was resolved in 1278 by the signing of a paréage, which provided that Andorra’s sovereignty be shared between the count of Foix (whose title would ultimately transfer to the French head of state) and the bishop of La Seu d’Urgell, in Catalonia, Spain. This gave the small principality its territory and political form.
An estimated 10 million people visit each year, drawn by the winter sports, summer climate and duty-free goods.
Andorra is surrouded by foreign territory.
Tourism is booming in this small part of the world with its ski resorts and tax haven status.
The people of Andorra are currently listed as having the highest human life expectancies on Earth at an average of 83.52 years.
