Good to know

- Major cities
- Time zones
- Single zone — CET (UTC+1), CEST (UTC+2) in summer

-
Android 30% iOS 70%
- Phone brands
- Top e-commerce
- Amazon.es / Amazon.fr (no local marketplace)
- AliExpress
- El Corte Inglés
- Zalando
- Vinted
- Peak activity
-
Weekday evenings ~19:00–23:00 CET; Twitch streams skew evening/late-night; ski-season weekend daytime for tourism content🕐 In your time zone (approx.):
- Creative taboos
- Catalan language & identity are central — lead with Catalan, don't conflate with Spain or France
- avoid framing Andorra as a pejorative 'tax haven' (wealth/tax-migration is politically charged, esp. in Spain)
- respect small-community feel
- Also worth knowing
- Andorra punches far above its ~83k size in the Spanish-language creator economy — El Rubius, AuronPlay, Vegetta777, TheGrefg, Patry Jordan and others relocated for the 10% flat tax, making Twitch/YouTube the key channels and giving Andorra-based campaigns a springboard to the whole Spanish-speaking audience
- duty-free status + 4.5% VAT keep physical retail/tourism ahead of domestic e-commerce
- euro-using but non-EU, with crypto-friendly Law 24/2022 and ultra-low tax making crypto, fintech and tax-residency offers over-index
Indicative reference — always confirm the current rules with the official source before you run.
