The will to adequately preserve and use this area has
led the Government of Andorra and the Town Councils of
Encamp, Andorra la Vella, Sant Julià de Lòria
and Escaldes-Engordany to sign the Charter of the Madriu-Perafita-Claror
Valley which lays down the bases for the protection, use
and sustainable management of the area. This Charter includes
the principles set out in articles 31 and 34 of our Constitution
as well as those coming from articles 4 and 16.3 of the
law on the cultural heritage of Andorra.
