heads of state called the principality of manduro, and he has no prince. and there is also a government headed by the prime minister. that's it with him fair dora, we had the honor to talk meet javier and spot in spanish or whose entry in catalan andorra has three official languages, spanish catalan and french names and geographical names, so they have here three different pronunciations. in order for the millions of russians who will watch our conversation with you to fully understand, uh, interesting but complex history, andora. i still want a few more clarifications, which means, on the one hand, it is expensively called a principality. that

is, it is a monarchical form. so and so they have two heads of state in andora, the president and the archbishop, but at the same time i read the words from the constitution of andora. today andora is a legal independent democratic and social state with parliamentary government, that is, a republic, that is, all together in one small andora. among them is how these powers of government interact. andorra is not a republic because it is ruled by two princes, but at the same time it is a parliamentary democracy, remarkably consolidated, just like spain, as an example of which i will cite, spain is a parliamentary monarchy and a republic and at the same time a right-wing social democratic state, just like in great britain, which is headed by monarch from this point of view. andorra is similar in its forms of government to spain and the united kingdom, as

well as to the scandinavian countries. the area of ​​the principality of andor is 468 square kilometers large part of its mountain there are 65 mountain peaks in the country, and numerous lakes are of glacial origin at an altitude exceeding 900 m. 75,000 people live it is curious that for every inhabitant of the country there are 33 tourists andorra attracts with its uniqueness, inimitable nature, amazing state structure and the richest stories. the history of the dora state is very interesting, as far as i know, it dates back to the 8th century, when the andorans were proud. uh, helped uh, charlemagne and the king of the frankish volvo with the arab invasions and

actually it predetermined, uh, victory. uh, in this zone on this part of the earth, and then it was charlemagne, uh, who granted the andorans, the sovereign right to be a free people, a free country, a separate country in fact, that is, the historical events that you are talking about, although we do not know what is made up, what is true. i think it is still possible to conclude that antona is the keeper of the most ancient centuries-old history and therefore her current position as an independent and sovereign state. this is a merit not only of the last few years, but condition. formed over many centuries, andorra is the 14th oldest state in the world, the first settlements on the territory of modern andora. archaeological

excavations dating back to the ice age testify to these settlements dating back to the mesolithic era. it is 6.000 years bc by the first inhabitants. actually, andors. there were catalan peasants, farming and cattle breeding was their main occupation today in andorra, pasture animal husbandry is developed. mainly sheep breeding for the summer the farmer is relocated to alpine villages, where only about 4% of the country's territory grazes on alpine meadows from the mountains of fertile land along the slopes of the mountains, even in the capital those times stretch, where potatoes are grown. and grapes also have to import most of andorra's food. we are a people who, for historical reasons, are closely connected with nature , agriculture, pastoralism, with all that

natural heritage, which is one of the most valuable assets of andor. we see it as our goal to preserve it not only in the environment, but throughout the world the most alpine capital of europe it is located at an altitude of 1079 m. above sea level, together the confluence of the two rivers valera delyan and valera delny forming a river. valera bridge paris connects two banks, rivers, two banks of the principality. house of the valleys or casta de laval one of the oldest buildings in the city , built in 1580, the family house of an aristocratic family in 1702 was bought by the land council, the progenitor of the modern parliament, andora. the parliament of the general council is located here, to this day,

next to a bas-relief, installed in the year of the 700th anniversary agreements on the dual suzerainty of these principalities about the facts. i would like to single out the non-fictional face-to-face ones separately. in part, because he formed our state is the signing of two treaties, which we call hiding or yarn in 1278 and in 1288, respectively. it was then that the principle of self-government was laid. that is the first stone in the foundation of our independence since. the ruler, on the one hand, the count, and representing the french, and on the other hand, the episcopal helian, representing the spaniards, decided that the territory of andorra they will govern jointly and indivisibly, apart from that andorans. they also united in the so-called parishes and before bandora was not dotted with such disparate units, it was decided to establish an assembly, the predecessor of the current general council, that

is, the andoran parliament. in 1419, a land council was created, the course of events developed until 1993, when our current constitution was adopted, securing the status of andora as a parliamentary principality under joint control, endowing each of all the rulers symbolic and honorary powers of vice districts. andorra lavelle, camellia-in camp, lama-sana escaldez anwar tribute to ordino-san giulia deloria the state archive of the principality is located in a special repository. on the first floor of the cash desk of the dalaval house of the share, it is called the repository of the seven keys, and you know. why enter this room to gain access to it. is it possible only if there are seven keys, one from each of the parishes,

andors? the most unique because in it, as nowhere else in the world, on equal rights, there are three the primary education system is french , spanish and proprietary, probably that's why and also because different nationalities mixed up. uh, children, the vandors from the very beginning speak, uh, four languages, spanish french portuguese and catalan proper, the population of andor. according to the country's department of statistics, as of january 1, 2020, there are 74.794 people, only 36% of the population are andorans. while 44% is to get rid of 11% of the portuguese. seven

percent french and the rest represents a variety of other nationalities on the go in front of the ticket office dalaval installed monuments to grants to a man with a suitcase on the threshold of a new life. pandora has always been the host land of the week of slots living in it in categories depending on their origin, then already during the spanish civil war and later its time of the second world war. antona began to accept all those who run away. therefore, i think andorians already have in their dna both tolerance and, to some extent, the awareness that visitors contribute to enrichment, andora, from all sides, not only from an economic point of view, but also from the point of view of cultural enrichment. that's what

character is. what is the priority here is what is the andoran character? what is his uniqueness, he is a tolerant person, so to speak. andura is proud of its centuries-old history, roots, traditions, language, culture, but at the same time, this does not prevent him from perceiving and respecting cultures and the view of other people on the world. i think that this is a wonderful approach to life and the perception of the environment and perhaps this is the most distinctive feature of the andorans. another unique sandur. it is her cuisine there that is surprisingly french spanish catalan cuisine and

today's gastronomic experts rightly believe that it has appeared already. actually andoran cuisine and believe me, they know how to deliciously feed seasonal dishes autumn, the hunting season of the wild boar festivals, one of which is called p and special sauces. in winter, when the cold comes and the ski season opens, a dish with cabbage and beets is appreciated, the most popular of cudelli. this

boiled pork with vegetables is eaten with a spoon; in the spring, a feast of fried onions is held in the capital, kolchukada, onions are cooked on six hundred barbecues. well , onion is certainly served with the traditional botifara sausage, freshly baked crispy, bread and tarragona wine in the summer. the most popular dish. in andorra, a wild chicory salad with bacon is added with snails or aifovo. in short, not listed. gondorado pandora is the country's main source of income, which has been and continues to be the sectors of tourism services and trade, and this means not only here, but also in other tourist cities and countries, which combines family and work life, it is not easy and often you have to work on those days when

another part of the population is resting. andor's income, is tourism duty free never proudly antonov buy clothes shoes sports goods exceed costs, and

the minimum wage in 2020 was 1.200 euros. the center of the country there are representative offices of large international banks, the banking sector gives andorra 20% of gdp. that a balance is also needed here, you need to understand that if andorra is a tourist country that wants to offer the most comfortable conditions for those who come to rest or stop by it, then you need to provide them with the most convenient offers, and therefore you need to achieve some kind of balance in this area. ski andora is the sunniest ski resort in europe in this its advantage over the alpine resorts, where cloudiness prevails in the andorran season,

starts on december 1 and lasts until the middle april, at night in winter, the air temperature is minus, and during the day it can rise to plus ten andor feature, in winter there is snow in the mountains, and down in the valley 10 minutes away, flowers bloom, mountain dry climate, andor, softened by the influence of the close mediterranean, is considered healing, but resorts in andorra. not only experienced skiers, but also beginners will find excellent slopes excellent groomed slopes of varying difficulty schools for children and adult freestyle lovers and snowboarders will definitely not be bored in andorra ski slopes in the pyrenees 3.100 hectares and about 350 km, the slopes of the most famous resorts of grand valera

and vallnord annually receive more than 1 million skiers. i would like to draw attention to the andoran ski sector, one of the best in the pyrenees, as well as to a variety of quality commercial offers with affordable prices compared to nearby countries, due to their moderation and low level of consumption taxes. what makes this sector very attractive, our country also has excellent restaurants and the best hotels in our country. region, especially as a percentage of the population. andor, i think. it has all the makings of a real tourist. paradise has something to see and besides the ski slopes. it is magnificent here, architectural monuments from the romanesque and romanesque period have been preserved. many churches date back to the 11th and 12th centuries, almost 20% of the territory, andor, national parks, the largest of which

the madriopyraphid clarr is under the protection of her nazca torah offers a unique opportunity to get acquainted with twenty different types of ecotourism, where the history of tradition is woven together and the amazing nature of khaikent is the best way to get to know the landscapes of the country in the principality of more than 250 km of hiking trails through the unexplored places of the pyrenees bandura, one of the safest countries in the world, which is certainly its greatest asset, i believe in terms of security. andorra ranks first or second in the world. many people not only from europe but from all over the world decide to move to live in andora, not only because of low taxes, but because of the high level of security of citizens theft theft an almost exclusive occurrence here in andor. we

know how much this feeling of peace is important not only for the residents. no, in andorra people park their cars and leave them open or leave the front door open and nothing bad ever happens. i think it creates an atmosphere of peace and provides the kind of quality of life that we need to maintain. in december 2021, the principality launched its own airport, regular flights began between andorrella airport and madrid bara airport, alas, the runway the strip is a bit short, only 1.260 m. only small planes can land here, and even then not always, for example, at the end of may, due to the intense heat , the plane flying from madrid had to change its route and landed in the neighboring spanish city. this

is because the air density in plus 30° change this temperature requires a longer runway. so the air passengers had to travel by bus for 2 hours along the good old serpentine. you uh talked about the attraction of andor, under ski tourism before gastronomy, but in my opinion not mentioned. the most important thing is what attracts. it seems to me that the tourists are vandoru. this is the benevolence and hospitable of the dorsians of andor. actually very friendly people. and in my opinion. this is the number one factor for attracting tourists, the service we offer is important not only for the infrastructure, but also for the people working in this area and since andor. for many years, he has been focused on the tourism sector, and therefore knows how to deal with tourists and has a certain ease in dealing with languages. we we always strive to help those who come for

their most comfortable and pleasant pastime. i believe that economic prosperity and the prevailing attitude in society allows us to have a high level of safety and comfort of citizens, which is appreciated by many tourists. visitors to the country the patron saint of andora our lady of merichel on september 8 in the town of mirechell pilgrims from all over the principality flock to the church of the virgin mary. here passes solemn meat. the andorans ask the mother of god good luck and prosperity, all over the country they dance and dance with them mechel, by the way, it means light in the middle of the day, the hymnandora was first performed on the day of the coronation of the holy virgin of merichel and until now his words have not changed. i am the only daughter that

remains of the empire of charlemagne free believers 11 centuries, free believers want to be. may laws be my patrons and princes my protectors. this is such an amazing country, andor. at its small, you can say, tiny size. she's outperforming in a number of ways. the world's largest statistics, as they say knows everything i will name just a few examples. well , for example, andorra is among the top five countries in the world in terms of security and the lowest level of crime. it is among the 10 countries in the world in terms of gdp per capita, finally andora is a country with one of the highest

life expectancy in the world. so even very small countries can serve as role models.
