           ANDORRA
==============================

Andorra is a tiny state,
situated high in the eastern
Pyrenees, between France and
Spain. The state consists of
deep valleys and high mountain
peaks which reach heights of
3000m. Although only 20km wide
and 30km long, the spectacular
scenery and climate attract
many tourists. About 6 million
visitors arrive each winter
when the cold weather with
heavy snowfalls makes for
ideal skiing. Tourism and the
duty-free trade are now
Andorra's chief sources of
income.
