Per què Andorra?

A peaceful and stable country

The Principality of Andorra was founded in 1278, and after over 700 years of independence and neutrality, the country ratified its Constitution in 1993, affording it full international recognition as a state under the rule of law.

Get to know Andorra 

The country has established a parliamentary democracy and the head of government is appointed by the General Council (Parliament). As a parliamentary co-principality, Andorra has two heads of state, the President of the French Republic and the Bishop of Urgell, who hold the office jointly and indivisibly. 

Andorra has been a member of the UN and European Council since 1993. While it is not a member of the European Union (EU), as a result of the Monetary Agreement with the EU, Andorra has the euro as its legal tender.
