Andorra

We drove through the country of Andorra which is located in the pyrenees mountains between France and Spain.

Andorra is the sixth-smallest state in Europe, with an area of 468 square kilometres and has a population of approximately 79,000.  The drive through the Pyrenees was very beautiful with winding road and high reaching mountains.

The road was winding throughout the base of the mountains and we eventually drove to the top of some of the mountains. 

Along the way we came to several small towns that were quaint and beautiful. 

 Andorra is the world’s 16th-smallest country by land and 11th-smallest by population. We drove to the capital of Andorra which is called “Andorra la Vella”. It is the highest capital city in Europe, at an elevation of 1,023 metres (3,356 feet) above sea level.

The Capital had some modern buildings and was quite nice looking.

It was an enjoyable and an interesting drive through the 16th smallest country in the world.
