The official language is Catalan and the currency used is Euro.
Andorra La Vella itself is very and Escaldes ( the main cities) can be difficult to hitchhike from, especially try to get away from the centrecenter and look fro bus stops where drivers can easily park. Petrol stations can be useful too, as all pay attention to the roads seems to have bollards along them to stop drivers parking- car plates: gas is cheaper in Andorra so a long walk out lot of town or moving on to Encamp, Canillo, Pas de la Casa or the border is suggested by the localstourist fill their tank before leaving.
To hitch south towards Spain from Andorra La Vella, you can catch the L1 bus south towards Sant Julià de Lòria, the bus stops near a Total petrol/gas station, from which it is VERY easy to catch a ride south.
While Andorrans themselves are sympathetic to hitchhikers, you are much more likely to be picked up by someone of another nationality.Try to look as tidy as possible, nomads and backpackers are not so common and is narrow minded place

[[User:GrooteR|GrooteR]] found the locals quite helpful for hitchhikers when thumbing, but the cars waited for (long distance towards France) didn't stop.
It's recommended to ask people at the petrol stations, gas is cheaper in Andorra and tourist tend to fill the tanks before leaving. Either If you are heading to France you can try north of Andorra La la Vella but if you go can get at least to France or south Canillo better because is where most of Andorra La Vella if the french tourist usually stay. If you go are heading south, towards Spain, your best chance is get to San Julia de Loria. Once there there is just one route towards Spain. [[User:GrooteR|GrooteR]] A bit south San Julia there are a couple of malls ( River and Punt de trobada) where a companion got lot of tourism stops. You might get a ride to Toulouse within 10 minutes in this wayfrom there.
