More than a thousand years of history underlie the architectural, cultural and popular heritage of Andorra. The Romanesque treasures hidden in the Principality bear witness to its origins and traditions. Here, art lives side-by-side with nature, traditional culture, and modern artistic events.
he Principality of Andorra is located in South-Western Europe situated in the eastern Pyrenees Mountains. Andorra borders with France to the north and Spain to the south. Andorra was both under French and Spanish occupation until the World War II when it became independent. Andorran cuisine is mostly Catalan with French influences due to the fact that it is just between these two countries. Andorran cuisine combines the Spanish and the French cuisine with the local dishes.
Although small in land mass, Andorra experiences a multitude of climate types, that vary greatly and according to elevation. Andorra’s valleys have a climate similar to that of neighbouring Spain and France, yet because of their higher elevation humidity levels are significantly lower, the winters more severe and the summers cooler.
