Living in Seu d'Urgell, La
La Seu d'Urgell — Seu for short — is a pleasant Pyrenean town of 13,000 amid looming peaks just 10km from Andorra, seat of a regional archbishopric since the 6th century and home to the finest Lombard Romanesque cathedral in Catalonia. It has an outdoor market held continuously since 1029. For its size it's notably diverse, with a large Colombian community leaving about seven in ten residents Spanish-born. High in the mountains, it has cold, snowy winters and cool summers. It has its own hospital and a small airport nearby, but the nearest big city is a good hour and a half away over the passes — a real mountain town, close to Andorra's orbit.

Region-ranked figures (PISA, surgical waits) compare Spain's 17 comunidades autónomas. A blank means no municipal-level figure is published — not a zero.
