Brief history
The date of foundation of Andorra is considered to be 805, when Charlemagne granted the community the Great Charter of Freedom. In 1278 association was formed with France and Spain, which allowed the small state to preserve its sovereignty without protecting its borders, as a result of which they have remained unchanged to this day.
The popularity of Andorra around the world started growing in the second half of the 20th century. Several factors promoted this, but the main role was played by the opening ski resorts and attractive legislation for foreign capital.
Today Andorra is a country with high living standards and almost complete absence of crime. Beautiful architecture against the background of mountain landscapes, ancient traditions, and a well-developed infrastructure create a pleasant relaxing atmosphere, which attracts connoisseurs of comfortable and diverse recreation.
