Principality of Andorra is a small principality located in southwestern Europe, in the Pyrenees Mountains and bordered by France and Spain. The country currently prospers from tourism and low taxes throughout the country.
Due to its position in the Pyrenees, Andorra is a mountainous territory, with an average height of 1996 m, the highest point being Coma Pedrosa, with 2.946 m. The mountains are separated by a series of valleys with flowing rivers that flow into the main watercourse, the River Valira, leaving the country toward Spain ( at the country's lowest point, 870 m). Andorra's climate is temperate, similar to that of its neighbors, but the country's high altitude causes more snow in winter and lower summer temperatures.
UNESCO World Heritage included on its list the following attraction in Andorra: the cultural and natural landscape from the area "Valls del Madriu-Perafita-Claror".
