What not to do when visiting Andorra
Andorra Don't forget to greet in local style - once a relationship is established, men may embrace and pat each other on the shoulder while female friends kiss each other on both cheeks, starting with the left. Many men use a two-handed shake where the left hand is placed on the right forearm of another person.
