    ANDORRA

    BEVERLIE GEL B. OSORIO


    HISTORY

    Andorra was originally created as a buffer state by the French


    leader Charlemagne during the Middle Ages. It was meant to keep
    the Muslim Moors out of France. The Andorrans were to fight off
    the Moors and protect France. In return Charlemagne would grant
    them a charter.
    CULTURE

    Andorra's ancient culture began with the Romans and


    was influenced by the region's location close to several
    mountain passes leading to northern Europe. Over the
    centuries, Spain, Italy, and France played a strong part
    in its development into a primarily Catalonian area with
    Catalan its main language.
    TRANSPORTATION

    Trains and Buses


    Barcelona has the most travel options, with no less than five coach companies
    offering trips to Andorra's capital. Train travel from France into Andorra is
    available, but is by far the most expensive and least convenient option.
    TRADITION
    CLOTHES
    Andorrans wear modern Western-style clothing.
    Traditional costumes are still worn for folk
    dancing and on special occasions. The traditional
    costume for women features a full, flowered skirt
    over a white petticoat; a blouse (sometimes
    covered by a flowered shawl); long, black,
    fingerless net gloves; and black espadrilles (cloth
    sandals) with white stockings. The traditional
    costume for men is a white shirt, dark knee-length
    pants, white stockings, and black shoes. They may
    also wear broad red sashes tied at the waist.
    TRADITIONAL
    FOOD
    Escudella

    Escudella is often referred to as Andorra’s national


    dish. It is typically eaten in winter and on holy days,
    including at Christmas. It is a big hearty stew, and a
    particular favourite with meat-lovers. It contains
    ingredients such as chicken, veal, meatballs, pig
    snout and trotters, and butifarra sausage. It also
    features potatoes, cabbage and white beans or
    chickpeas. Large pasta shells are also typically added.
    TRADITIONAL
    FOOD
    Cargols

    Snails are not only eaten in France; they are popular


    in Catalonia and Andorra too. There are various ways
    of cooking them, but one of the most typical in
    Andorra is cargols a la lluna, in which the snails are
    oven-roasted and eaten either with olive oil, salt and
    aioli (a garlic mayonnaise) or a paprika-infused
    vinaigrette.
    Tourist Attractions

    La Casa de la Vall

    La Casa de la Vall is one of the top attractions in


    Andorra la Vella. Built in 1580 and now the seat of
    government, it's notable for its ornate coat of arms
    and other historical emblems of the country's former
    rulers.
    Tourist Attractions

    Winter Wonderland: Vallnord


    One of the most popular winter sports
    destinations in the Pyrenees, Vallnord draws
    skiers and snowboarders from across Europe to its
    many fine slopes. Located in the northern part of
    Andorra and boasting a peak altitude of 2,625
    meters, Vallnord is really three unique ski resorts
    in one: Arcalis, Pal, and Arinsal. Together these
    three resorts provide a vast amount of terrain to
    explore.
    Tourist Attractions

    Caldea
    Found in the heart of Andorra la Vella, the
    huge Caldea spa complex (it's the largest in
    Europe) dominates the capital's skyline with
    its magnificent glass pyramid tower.
