Exchange rate
£1 = €1.35 (approximate at October 2007).

Calling Home
Remember to add 00 44 and to remove the ‘0’ from the start of the local area code.

Electricity
Andorra operates on 220 or 240 volts AC, the same as the UK but plugs and sockets are different which means you’ll need a continental adaptor.
