+376 is the dialing code for Andorra.
Andorra is located in the Pyrenees mountain range, on the border between France and Spain. Since 1993, it has been a sovereign state, but France’s leader and a Spanish bishop are still formal heads of state. The Principality is a financial center and something of a tax haven. Duty-free goods and fine ski slopes attract just over ten million tourists a year.
