living in Andorra guide on residency relocation advice

Andorra is a small, landlocked country in south-western Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountain range and bordered by Spain and France. With an area of 468 km², it is the sixth smallest country in Europe and also the largest of the European microstates.

Andorra consists predominantly of rugged mountains, the highest being the Coma Pedrosa at 2,942 metres (9,652 ft.), and the average elevation of Andorra is 1,996 metres (6,549 ft.). These are dissected by three narrow valleys in a Y shape that combine into one as the main stream, the Gran Valira river, leaves the country for Spain (at Andorra's lowest point of 840 m/2,756 ft.).

The National Symbol of Andorra is the Izard.
