Andorra is divided into seven administrative divisions, known as parishes or parròquies in Catalan. Each parish has its own administrative council, or comú, and is further subdivided into villages or hamlets. Here is a list of the seven parishes in alphabetical order:

Andorra is a tiny mountain country in southwestern Europe, tucked high in the eastern Pyrenees between Spain and France. The country is divided into 7 parishes, which are the main administrative divisions of Andorra, and each parish manages its own local services and communities. Andorra la Vella is the national capital and also the largest city in the country.

Even though Andorra is small, the landscape is packed with steep valleys, ski resorts, mountain villages, and winding roads that connect the parishes. Tourism, banking, and winter sports play a huge role in the economy, and most towns sit along narrow valleys surrounded by peaks.
