It is also the name of the parish that surrounds it. Andorra la Vella is located at 42°30' North, 1°30' East (42.5, 1.5). [1] The population is very diverse: Spanish 43%, Andorran 33%, Portuguese 11%, French 7%, other 6%. Catalan is the official language, although Castilian and French are also spoken. Most of the inhabitants are Roman Catholics. The principal industry is tourism, although the country also earns foreign income from being a tax-haven. Furniture and brandies are local products. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
For 715 years, from 1278 to 1993, Andorrans lived under a unique co-principality, ruled by the French chief of state and the Spanish bishop of Urgel. In 1993, this feudal system was modified with the titular heads of state retained, but the government transformed into a parliamentary democracy. Long isolated and impoverished, mountainous Andorra achieved considerable prosperity since World War II through its tourist industry. Many immigrants (legal and illegal) are attracted to the thriving economy with its lack of income taxes..
