The Principality of Andorra is the only country in the world with two foreign postal organisations in the same country – the French and Spanish postal services. Andorra is a tiny independent country, situated in the Pyrennees, bordered by Spain and France. Its capital, Andorra la Vella, is the highest-altitude capital in Europe. Despite having the two postal services the country is fully independent from France, Spain and the European Union but its currency is the Euro.
