ANDORRA

... Lots of beautiful picturesque views of a tiny European country... they came in envelope because at the post office in Soldeu they said to only way to send postcards was inside an envelope... (I already received a few written and stamped🤔)... probably because you had to buy the envelope as well... but it is a nice envelope from Hotel Parador Canaro, an establishment with a long history and tradition in Andorra... Farré Family, known as Family Canaro, began in hotel business in 1963 with the hotel La Posta Soldeu, it had 12 rooms... after several renovations it now has 64 comfortable rooms with magnificent views over slopes of Ski Parador Canaro and surrounding mountains... Andorra is the only country without its own postal system, they are operated by Spain and France... both have their own stamps and mailboxes... Thanks a lot Andrene for all the effort you made to get me this great postcards and envelope!! (✿◠‿◠)

Andorra is a tiny, landlocked independent principality in the Pyrenees mountains, South Western Europe. It the the sixth-smallest nation in Europe and the sixteenth-smallest nation in the world.

Andorra has two princes. The president of France and the Bishop of Urgell serve as co-princes for the country. It is the world’s only co-principality.

In Andorra there are 303km of slopes and the ski resorts are served by 102 ski lifts.

It has 65 peaks above 2,000 metres so several of its resorts, including the lofty Pas de la Casa and Soldeu, are amongst the most snow-sure.

The region has invested heavily in snow-making facilities too, so if the weather doesn’t oblige, the cannons will fire up to make plenty of snow to keep runs open.
