What is ANDORRA? (Not What You'd Expect!)

Did you know that Andorra is a real country?!
I made this video about a year ago and realized that I only posted it on FB and not YT. So I wanted to share it with a new audience to educate you a bit about one of the smallest, safest and most humble countries on our planet -- ANDORRA! Have you ever been to Andorra? Or heard anything about it? I recommend visiting if you get the chance!

[@MR.ALFE95]

Hey! I'm from Andorra, born and raised there, indeed it is really safe and education is pretty top-notch. Most of French and Spaniards come here to study high school as we study in 4 languages at once (Catalan, Spanish, French) the official and the 2 co-official languages and English. Although it's a great nation to retire or when you're older, it is kinda boring when you're young. That's the main reason of why most of us, youngsters, go to Barcelona, Madrid or Toulouse to study a degree after high school as there's almost no party and no other things to do in our country aside from shopping, going out for lunch or dinner, going hiking or skiing in winter. There are just 5 big high schools and we get to know almost everyone so there's no privacy either xD. But it is fun if you just wanna relax, enjoy nature and shop!

Cuando me paro a pensarlo, es bastante raro y sorprendente que un país como Andorra sea una nación soberana de verdad

[@svenw.6079]

Hey Drew, I spent one week in Andorra this summer and me and my friends definitly did not get bored. It's an amazing place for hiking with mountains that almost hit 3000m and amazing wild life. We even spotted a wild groundhog. Also Andorra has one of the largest tibetan bridges in the world with a length of 603m and a maximum rise of 153 m. Also I agree with most folks here. Go outside of Andorra Del Vella as soon as you are done shopping. Have a good one!

[@majorcossac6562]

There're more things to see in Andorra, plenty of nature beauty everywhere and really nice villages where you can eat delicious food. Go to Andorra and spend more than one day there!

I would recommend a trip to the mountain. Some are easy, some are hard, there is everything for everyone.

[@rubenortega9347]

Yess! I've been there, I'm Spanish and it only takes me like 2 hours to go there by car! It's small, but definetely worth visiting. There are lots of skii stations, beautiful landscape, lots of shops and a really good spa with thermal waters called Caldea that I really recomend to go

[@joshual4513]

Makes sense. Think about it, compare the price of a store vs. a train station 2,000 feet in the mountains. Not to mention, all that rail that you need to build straight through the Pyranees mountains. Roads are far easier than rail, as it can be steeper and have less digging work. So people just drive.

[@samuelmaspaitella2703]

I went to Andorra two years ago, in August to be precise. Not so many people know about this country, especially in my country, so I was lucky enough to have had the chance to visit this country even though it was only a day trip. The trip took around 3 hours by car from Barcelona, and yes it is indeed a heaven for shoppers. I bought two Acqua di Gio's and got two free cable car tickets to Vallnord in La Massana😁 Would definitely come back to Andorra to do more shopping with its beautiful mountainous scenery!😆

[@lihwak9181]

It’s pronounced Andorra-La veYa
