Andorra, also known as the Principality of Andorra (Catalan: Principat d'Andorra) or the Principat de les Valls d'Andorra (English: Principality of the Valleys of Andorra, is a small country located in the Pyrenees between France and Spain. Andorra is one of the European microstates, and, though it not part of the European Union, has an agreement with the EU to use the Euro. The capital and largest city is Andorra la Vella. The official language of Andorra is Catalan, but Spanish, Portuguese, and French are widely spoken as well. Andorra has a unique co-regency (it is ruled by two rulers), called Princes, one being the head of state of France (currently[update] French president François Hollande), and the other being the Bishop of Urgell, (currently[update] Joan Enric Vives i Sicília), a Catholic bishop from Catalonia.
