ANDORRA

...Nice "surprise" multiview postcard sent from a tiny country in Europe...it is a co-principality, the only one of its kind in the world...Andorra is in fact the only country without its own postal system, they are operated by Spain (Correos) and France (La Poste)...both have their own stamps and mailboxes...Spanish postboxes are red and the French ones are yellow...so my postcard  came from a red boxツ...Heel erg bedankt Josep and Assumpta !! (and congrats with your dutch(>‿♥) )
