Catalan is spoken by about 12 million people worldwide and is the official language in the Principality of Andorra. People may tell you Andorra’s nothing but skiing and shopping. They might add that Andorra la Vella, its capital and only town, is a fuming traffic jam bordered by palaces of consumerism. (Fact: Andorra has over 2,000 shops — more than one for every 40 inhabitants.) They’re right to a point, but also way off course. Shake yourself from Andorra la Vella’s tawdry embrace, take one of only three secondary roads in the state and discover some of the most dramatic scenery in all of the Pyrenees. This mini-country wedged between France and Spain offers by far the best skiing in the Pyrenees, like in Canillo and Soldeu or Arinsal and Pal. In the last five years, its resorts have invested over €50 million in mountain cafés and restaurants, chairlifts and gondolas, car parks and snow-making machines. And once the snows have melted, summer activities are to be had in Ordino. There’s great walking, ranging from easy strolls to demanding day hikes in the higher, more remote reaches of the principality.

Outside of Andorra, Catalan is also spoken widely in parts of Spain (Catalonia, Valencian Communities, Balearic Islands, La Franja, Carche) and parts of France and Italy.

Here are some of the basic Catalan phrases that you might use:

• Vull esquí. (I want to ski.)
• Hi ha un heliport a prop? (Is there a helipad nearby?)
• Aturar el soroll. (Stop the noise.)
