http://www.pyreneesguide.com/448/pyrenees-guide-about-and... Andorra is a small landlocked country in western Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France. Its size is near 470 km² with an estimated population of almost 89,000. Its capital is Andorra la Vella. It is currently a prosperous country mainly because of tourism and its status as a tax haven.

Andorra la Vella, its capital and only town, is a fuming traffic jam bordered by palaces of consumerism. You can also take one of only three secondary roads in the state and discover some of the most dramatic scenery in all of the Pyrenees. Andorra offers by far the best skiing in the Pyrenees mountains, like in Canillo & Soldeu or Arinsal & Pal. In the last five years, its resorts have invested more than 50 Eur million in cafés, restaurants, chairlifts and gondolas, car parks and snow-making machines. (less info)
