  1. Yes It isThe official and historic language is Catalan. Other languages stemming from immigration, historical links and close geographic proximity, such as Spanish and French are also commonly spoken.

    Andorra's long history has provided it with a rich folklore and an abundance of folk tales, with roots originating as far as Andalusia in the south and the Netherlands in the north.

    Andorran culture is Catalan in essence. It has given a significant and easily identifiable contribution to the conglomerate of Catalan culture.

    Two writers renowned in Catalonia and the region, Michèle Gazier and Ramon Villeró, both come from Andorra.

    Andorra is home to folk dances like the contrapàs and marratxa, which survive in Sant Julià de Lòria especially. Andorran folk music has similarities to all of its neighbors, but is especially Catalan in character, especially in the presence of dances like the sardana. Other Andorran folk dances include contrapàs in Andorra la Vella and Saint Anne's dance in Escaldes-Engordany.

    spelled Andorra.


  2. Went there last summer; enjoyed it.Consists basically, of a couple of winding roads through the Pyrenean mountains, linking France with Catalonia, Spain. Population of only 78,000.  Lovely scenery, not the place for night life! Duty free shopping  is a bonus(even the French flock there at weekends).
