Andorra is a small landlocked country in southwestern Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France. It is the sixth smallest nation in Europe having an area of 468 km2 (181 sq mi) and an estimated population of 83,888 in 2009. Its capital, Andorra la Vella, is the highest capital city in Europe, being at an elevation of 1023 metres. The official language is Catalan, although Spanish, French, and Portuguese are also commonly spoken.Due to its location in the eastern Pyrenees mountain range, Andorra consists predominantly of rugged mountains, the highest being the Coma Pedrosa at 2,942 metres (9,652 ft). These are dissected by three narrow valleys in a Y shape that combine into one as the main stream, the Gran Valira River, leaves the country for Spain. The fish that can be fished for in the river are those of the salmon family.Andorrahttp://www.fao.org/docrep/009/t0377e/t0377e03.htmExtract from Inland fisheries of Europe....
