Andorra is a miniature state lost between Spain and France in the eastern Pyrenees. Once this principality was closed from the whole world, and today millions of tourists come here.
Most of Andorra is mountainous, separated by valleys, meadows and forests. On their tops there are lakes of glacial origin. The relief of Andorra is dotted with rocks, the mountain peaks of which are carried away into the cloudy heights. The picturesque landscapes have a hypnotic effect on travelers. The most beautiful time of the year in Andorra is spring, when many flowers and herbs bloom, filling the air with fragrance.
