www.patrimonicultural.ad HISTORICAL SUMMARY The Andorran relief is mountainous, with 72 peaks, some over 2000 m high, which makes Andorra one of the hig- hest countries in Europe. The highest point in the territory is the Comapedrosa peak (2,942 m) and the lowest point is where the river Runer crosses the frontier with Spain (838 m). The average altitude is 1,996 m. The quaternary origin of the Andorran land is revealed by the routes of the main river axes in the country: the Valira del Nord, the Valira d’Orient and the . These rivers are joined by other tributaries, where the main towns are located. The lakes, mainly small and round, form part of the sce- nery of Andorra. Andorra has more than 70 lakes, the largest of which is the Juclar, which occupies an area of 29 ha, although other well-known lakes are Tristaina and Pessons, amongst others. The Andorran climate is of Mediterranean mountainous type, with hot summers and cold winters and conside- rable snowfalls. The average minimum is -2ºC and the maximum 24ºC. Snowfalls are frequent and the rain is concentrated mainly in the months of October and May. Andorran biodiversity is very rich, with more than 1,500 species of fl ora and fauna spread mainly in the four zo- nes: Mediterranean, montane, sub Alpine and Alpine.

10 Of all the vegetable species, one stands out, the Poet’s 11 Daffodil (Narcissus poeticus), the emblematic fl ower of the Principality; amongst the fauna, the two most repre- sentative animals are the river trout and the chamois, which live at the highest points. The fauna and fl ora of Andorra vary depending on the zone. Some of the most frequent animal species we fi nd are: the marmot, the ‘pallaresa’ lizard, the squirrel, the boar and the birds of prey such as the bearded vulture. Just like the fauna, the species which form part of the country’s fl ora are highly varied and we can fi nd from me- dicinal herbs (strawberry and ilex), wild mushrooms and fl owers (narcissus) to a large number of trees and bushes (hazelnut and box). The biological wealth of Andorra justifi es its preservation, and over the years different areas have been protected such as the hunting and fi shing grounds and the nature parks.

Mt. Font Blanca The Parc Natural Comunal de les Valls del Coma- pedrosa nature park and the Vall de Sorteny nature park are two protected areas created with a double intention: on the one hand the ecosystems are pre- served and on the other a rational use is made of them. This is a fi rst step towards respect of the envi- ronment and the nature of the country. The Madriu- Perafi ta-Claror valley, declared World Heritage by Unesco in 2004 for its natural and cultural wealth, is in the south of the country and covers 10% of the te- rritory. Given the importance of this area, it is the only valley in the country in which vehicles may not enter. These protected areas and other valleys of the coun- try, such as the Valley, of glacial origin; the Enclar Valley, part of the Anella Verda (Green Ring) route; the Pessons cirque, The Tristaina Valley, the Angonella Valley or the Camins dels ofi cis (Old trades route), offer a wide range of ecotourism trails which you can do in the company of professional guides who will help you to discover our natural heritage. www.andorra.ad Department of Tourism and the Environment www.mediambient.ad Sorteny Valley Nature Reserve www.sorteny.ad · www.ordino.ad Parc Natural Comunal de les Valls del Comapedrosa Nature Reserve www.comapedrosa.ad · www.lamassana.ad Madriu-Perafi ta-Claror Valley www.unesco.ad Pessons Cirque www.encamp.ad Green Ring Route turisme.andorralavella.ad Old Trades Route www.santjulia.ad/turisme

Typical dishes The geographical location of the country has meant that it has developed its own gastronomy typical of mountain areas. Wild mushrooms, river trout, mountain trinxat (made with potatoes, cabbage, streaky bacon and garlic), game, stew, aioli, delicatessen meats (donja, bringuera, bull or bis- be sausages) and sponges are some of the specialities of Andorran gastronomy.

Put the cabbage on to boil for twen- ty minutes. When it is ready, add the chopped potatoes. In a separate pan, fry the whole garlic. When the garlic is golden, remove it and in the same oil add the streaky bacon until it is crisp. Drain the vegetables and put them in a saucepan with the oil from the bacon and with a blender, mash it until it is all well mixed. Serve it with the bacon.

To get around inside the country On public transport Two regular lines connect the parishes and the main stops are on the busiest roads in the urban centres. The tickets can be bought on the bus itself. The services usually run from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. EXPRESS BUS: This is the fastest, most frequent line which connects the urban centres of each parish to the ca- pital. The route crosses the country on side roads to avoid the town and village centres. The express bus is identified by its orange colour, and the stops are located in the outs- kirts of the towns and villages. INTERURBAN LINES: The interurban public transport ser- vice connects all of the towns on six different lines crossing the urban centres. Each parish has a municipal transport service which connects the small villages not covered on the main routes. You will find the stops in the main streets and avenues of the urban centres. www.transportpublic.ad Av. Carlemany, Escaldes-Engordany

By taxi Unlike other countries of Europe, the taxi service is usually given from the taxi ranks or by booking by tele- phone. The taxi ranks are generally in the most central streets of the shopping areas. ASSOCIACIÓ DE TAXISTES D’ANDORRA, tel. (+376) 863 000 CENTRE DE RESERVES TAXI EXPRÉS, tel.

For minors accompanied by parents: · Valid passport or current identity card · The family record book or similar is not a valid docu ment to travel in any instance · Appearing on their parents’ passport For unaccompanied minors: · A permission to travel authorisation from their country (issued by the town hall or police station) 40 and a valid passport or identity card 41 For people travelling with pets: · A pet passport and up-to-date vaccination sheet.
