Extractions: Four artists using the plastic arts invent a dialogue in order to extend interaction between the peoples of Africa, America, the Carribean and Europe. They have analysed the theme of slavery in a very personal way giving it plastic form using metal, oil, acrylic, canvas and organic matter around the symbol of a boat in an attempt to express what they feel in the solitude of their workshops. Compulsory in former times but now desired : the boat as a vehicle transporting everyone's hopes and dreams.

Extractions: The timbers creak beneath your feet. Shining and polished as they were during those years when the family lived here and was representative of a whole and very special lifestyle. Secret passages linking the barons rooms with the kitchen, portraits full of history, such as that one, of an enquiring rather eccentric parent, who left a written commission for a portrait of his skull. A portrait that can still be seen hanging on the wall, in a house full of surprising corners, whispered secrets and above all, history. Its the Areny i Plandolit house at Ordino. Culture in Andorra, however, goes much further than museums Its the culture of exhibition rooms and the street . The culture of the various theatre and music programmes, and also activities promoted by cultural organisations. The 2nd International Female Clowns Festival, a unique initiative in the world, has brought together this year more than a hundred specialists in making you laugh, filling the theatres and the streets of the capital with merriment for several days. The music loving public was delighted and surprised to enjoy the skill and ability of the pianist who opened the 10th Music and Dance Season in the Commune of Andorra la Vella. The success and high standard year by year have made the Season an essential note in the diary, with excellent performances programmed each year.

Extractions: Culture Until the 1950s, Andorra's population hovered around 6000. Today, only about a quarter of the population - almost two-thirds of whom live in Andorra la Vella and its suburbs - are Andorran nationals. The rest are mainly Spanish, French and Portuguese. The official language is Catalan (Catal ), a Romance language most closely related to Proven§al but with roots in Castilian and French. Local lore has it that everyone in Andorra speaks Catalan, Spanish and French, but there are plenty of people who can't understand more than 10 words of French. Hardly anyone speaks English. Andorran cuisine is mainly Catalan, with strong French and Italian influences. Sauces are typically served with meat and fish. Pasta is also common. Local dishes include cunillo (rabbit cooked in tomato sauce), xai (roast lamb), trinxat (bacon, potatoes and cabbage) and escudella (a stew of chicken, sausage and meatballs).

Extractions: Education law requires school attendance for children up to age 16. A system of French, Spanish, and Andorran public schools provide education up to the secondary level. Schools are built and maintained by Andorran authorities, but teachers are paid for the most part by France or Spain. About 50% of Andorran children attend the French primary schools; the rest attend Spanish or Andorran schools. Andorran schools follow the Spanish curriculum, and their diplomas are recognized by the Spanish education system. In July 1997, the University of Andorra was established. Due to its small student body, the University of Andorra is unable to develop a full academic program, and it serves principally as a center for virtual studies, connected to Spanish and French universities. There are two graduate schools in Andorrathe Nursing School and the School of Computer Science.

Extractions: Overview Andorra is the last independent survivor of the March states, a number of buffer states created by Charlemagne to keep the Muslim Moors from advancing into Christian France. Tradition holds that Charlemagne granted a charter to the Andorran people in return for their fighting the Moors. In the 800s, Charlemagne's grandson, Charles the Bald, named the Count of Urgell Overlord of Andorra. A descendant of the Count later gave the lands to the diocese headed by Bishop of Seu d'Urgell. In the 11th century, fearing military action by neighboring lords, the bishop placed himself under the protection of the Lord of Caboet, a Spanish nobleman. Later, the Count of Foix, a French noble, became heir to Lord Caboet through marriage, and a dispute arose between the French Count and the Spanish bishop over Andorra. In 1278, the conflict was resolved by the signing of a pareage, a feudal institution recognizing the principle of equality of rights shared by two rulers. This pareage provided that Andorra's sovereignty would be shared between the Count of Foix and the Bishop of Seu d'Urgell of Spain. The pareage gave the small state its territory and political form.

Extractions: Andorra Culture Back to Top Andorra's freedom is traditionally assigned to Charlemagne, who recovered the region from the Muslims in AD 803, and to his son Louis I the Pious, who granted the inhabitants a charter of liberties. Charlemagne's grandson, Charles II, granted Andorra to the counts of Urgel, from whom it passed to the bishops of Urgel. Andorra's seven-century-old dual allegiance to two princes, one in Spain and one in France, originated in the late 13th century in a proprietary quarrel between the Spanish bishops of Urgel and the French heirs to the countship of Urgel. The coprincipality has traditionally had a strong kinship with the region of Catalonia in northern Spain. Andorra's official language is Catalan; its institutions are based in Catalonian law, and a large proportion of the Spanish immigrants in Andorra are Catalan. Most Andorrans are Roman Catholic, and the principality is part of the diocese of the See of Urgel. Nearly two-thirds of the population is urban. Andorra consists of a cluster of mountain valleys whose streams unite to form the Valira River. With only about 3 % of the land cultivable, the traditional economy centred on the pasturing of sheep and the harvesting of modest quantities of tobacco, wheat, olives, grapes, and potatoes. Industry was limited to processing these products and to handicrafts. From the 1950s tourism became one of Andorra's chief industries, exploiting the scenic attractions of the mountains and the area's excellent opportunities for winter sports. Because of the deficiency of customs duties and low or nonexistent taxes, Andorra in the late 20th century also became an valuable international centre of retail trade that attracted millions of shoppers from all over Europe with its duty-free imported consumer goods.

Andorra I. Introduction Andorra , country in southwestern Europe, located high in the eastern Pyrenees Mountains between France to the north and Spain to the south. Andorra is one of the smallest nations in the world, with an area of 468 sq km (181 sq mi) and a population (2005 estimate) of 70,549. The capital and largest city is Andorra la Vella (population, 1999 estimate, 25,000). Andorra is a rugged land marked by deep gorges, narrow valleys, and towering mountains. The lowest part of Andorra stands about 914 m (3,000 ft) above sea level. Due to its alpine location, winters are cold, and heavy snowfall frequently blocks the mountain passes, especially the road linking Andorra to France. Summers are cool, dry, and sunny. Isolated for centuries, Andorra had become a popular tourist destination by the 1950s. Although tiny, Andorra offers some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the Pyrenees. Great hiking, mountain biking, and stunning alpine scenery attract visitors in summer. But most of the visitors to Andorra are day travelers from France or Spain, who take advantage of Andorraâs duty-free shopping. Merchants selling electronic goods, alcohol, tobacco, and luxury items crowd the streets of Andorra la Vella and other nearby towns.
