Andorra–Spain border

The border between Andorra and Spain is in the Pyrenees between northern Spain and southern Andorra.SpecificationsThe Spanish-Andorran border runs 64 km between the south of Andorra and northern Spain in the Pyrenees Mountains. Because both Spain and Andorra are situated in the same watershed, travel is easier than travel between Andorra and France. The most used languages of Andorra are also Catalan and Spanish.The border begins in the west at the Andorra-France-Spain tripoint . It then follows a generally south-eastern direction, later turning northeast to the eastern Andorra-Spain-France tripoint . The dividing line between the two countries goes through high mountain areas, often over 2000 m, and passes close to the highest point of Andorra, the peak of Coma Pedrosa. It also borders the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley, the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Andorra.In May 2015 the European commission adopted a cooperation program to improve the protection of the environment at the Spain-Andorra and Andorra-France borders.Border controlsThe main channel of communication between the two countries is through the Valira Valley between La Seu d'Urgell and the parish of Sant Julia de Loria. The only border control at the Andorra–Spain border is located along this road. There is no rail crossing point.
