GEOGRAPHY
Andorra is situated
in the eastern Pyrenees, bordered by France to the north and east
and Spain to the south and west. It is roughly halfway between Barcelona
and Toulouse. The landscape consists of gorges and narrow valleys
surrounded by mountains. Much of the landscape is forested, but
there are several areas of rich pastureland in the valleys. There
are four rivers and several mountain lakes. Ski resorts and the
spa town of Les Escaldes are Andorra's main attractions.
