Can you hit a nail with the wrong end of the hammer?
Are you any good at table football?
These are the more common games in Arinsal, and great fun-
BUT Beware
There are often forefeits for loosing the games,
and plenty of local rules to ensure you do.
So check the Forfeit first, it could involve running around a table with your trousers around your ankles, downing a few shots or buying a round of drinks, Once you know what is at stake, play away. ( some people play to lose!!)

Catalan is mainly spoken in Andorra. You can get by on English in Arinsal though

Arinsal is full of Brits & Irish, so English is widely understood. However a few words of Catalan will really impress the locals :)
