Did you know?
- 👑The only country in the world that's a parliamentary co-principality — it has two heads of state at once, and neither is Andorran: the Catholic Bishop of Urgell (Spain) and the sitting President of France. The arrangement has kept Andorra stable and peaceful for over 700 years.
- 🚫Tucked high in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, Andorra has never had its own national bank and never minted its own currency — it used French francs and Spanish pesetas before switching entirely to the Euro.
- 🛩One of the very few countries on Earth with zero airports and no train tracks — the terrain is so steep that building a runway is practically impossible. You can only get in by car or bus through the mountain passes from Toulouse or Barcelona.
- 🗣️Catalan is Andorra's official language, making it the only sovereign state where Catalan is the sole official language.
