Andorra

Andorra is a tiny country in the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain. Those two countries jointly administer Andorra, each issuing stamps for it.

French administration

 * In 1931, French definitives were overprinted ANDORRE, as were postage dues and a newspaper stamp.
 * In 1932, a pictorial series followed inscribed VALLEES D'ANDORRE.
 * Beginning in 1944, stamps were inscribed ANDORRE.
 * 1976 saw the use bilingual inscriptions.
 * In 1978, the inscription became PRINCIPAT D'ANDORRE.



Spanish administration

 * In 1928, Spanish definitives were overprinted CORREOS / ANDORRA, as was a special delivvery stamp.
 * In 1929, engraved stamps were produced inscribed ANDORRA.
 * In 1948, CORREOS would be added to designs.
 * From 1978, stamps would be inscribed PRINCIPAT D'ANDORRE with CORREUS included in the design. That allows French and Spanish issues to be told apart.
