... Great nature view of the only UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in Andorra.... considered to be the "spiritual heart" of Andorra... a beautiful and preserved region of one of the smallest countries in the world... home to many endangered wildlife species... it offers a unique environment for excursions... a place where nature surrounds you with all its strength... dream landscapes with mountains, rivers and streams... the majority of the valley is underdeveloped, which means that many of the cultural traditions in the valley for many centuries have remained intact... it's also still used for grazing by local farmers... Andorra is the the only country without its own postal system, they are operated by Spain and France... both have their own stamps and mailboxes... this is my second one from La Poste France👍...Thanks a lot Jordi!!ヽ(ヅ)ノ
This glacial valley is located in the southeastern portion of Andorra with a total area of over 42 square kilometers. This portion of the valley comprises about 9% of the total land area in the country.
The upper part of the valley features an exposed glacial landscape with picturesque steep cliffs, rock and lake glaciers. Further down, the valley narrows and becomes more wooded. A secondary valley is also to be seen here at the point where Perafita Claror Valley blends into the Madriu Valley to the South West.
It is a cultural site that was inscribed into the list in 2004. In 2006, there were extensions added to the original site.
