Postcard from Andorra, Spanish Administration

Postal services in Andorra are unique in that they are not operated by the country itself, but by its two larger neighboring countries, Spain and France. This is a legacy of the centuries of de facto control exercised by those two countries over Andorra. Correos of Spain and La Poste of France operate side by side. This postcard is sent through Spanish postal system in Andorra.

Stamps on postcard:
EUROPA - Integration through the Eyes of Young People , issued on 16.05.2006.
The 10th Anniversary of the Entry of Andorra to the United Nations, issued on 28.07.2003.


Thank you Wolfgang!

Postcard from Andorra with stamps from both postal administrations

I received my first postcards from Andorra, and one of them with stamps from both postal administrations: Correos of Spain and La Poste of France. Postal services in Andorra are unique in that they are not operated by the country itself, but by its two larger neighboring countries, Spain and France. This is a legacy of the centuries of de facto control exercised by those two countries over Andorra.

First two stamps are from La Poste:
Coat of arms of Andorra, issued on 02.01.2010.
Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), issued on 03.08.1985.
And third stamp is from Correos:
Christmas Stamp , issued on 06.12.1984.

On front side of postcard you can see Pal, village in Andorra, located in the parish of La Massana 4 km west of the town of La Massana, close to the border with Spain at Tor, Pallars. Its population, as of 2013, was of 235.

Both stamps on second card are from La Poste:
Coat of arms, stone carving, at the old town hall of Andorra, issued on 28.03.1987.
Wild Boar (Sus scrofa), issued on 16.09.1989.
