Andorra (Catalan: Andorra), officially The Principality of Andorra (Catalan: Principat d'Andorra) is a small landlocked country in western Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by [[Spain]] and [[France]]. Once isolated, it is currently a prosperous country mainly because of tourism and its status as a tax haven. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andorra Read more…]
