About Andorra
The principality of Andorra can be found squashed between France and Spain. Andorra offers you some of the best skiing holidays to be found in the eastern part of the Pyrenees.
The mountainous landscape provides you with a scenic landscape for your car hire holiday in Andorra. The capital city is Andorra la Vella and is the highest capital city in Europe, with a height of over one thousand meters.
The spoken language is Catalan, but you can get by with using Spanish and French. Although a monarchy, it has two princes, one of which is the President of France and the other a Bishop. The Euro is the local currency but as yet Andorra is not part of the European Union, mainly because it is seen as a tax haven.
