  • CHURCH OF ST. MICHAEL AND JOHN - Encamp
    CHURCH OF ST. MICHAEL AND
    JOHN
    by matcrazy1
    The small, medieval church of Saint Michael and Saint John stands among local stone houses of Encamp. The stone edifice, built in the Romanesque style, was enlarged and refurbished at the end of the 16th or beginning of the 17th centuries. Its walls made of natural rocks and single bell hang above the facade in typical Spanish way amazed me.

    There are also three other Romanesque stone churches in Encamp:
    - church of Saint Mark and Maria located at Encamp cemetery (12th century),
    - church of Saint Roma from 1163
    - parish church of Saint Eulalia with 23 metre high (80 ft) bell tower, the highest one in Andorra.

    I have seen only the last one from the main road but I didn't stop :-(. There is also Museu Nacional de l’Automobil on Avinguda del Princep Episcopal 64 which displays a collection of cars dating from 1898 to 1950 as well as 50 antique motorbikes. I didn't visit it either. Instead I visited one more church close to Encamp, in Canillo (see my Parrňquia de Canillo page%L).

  • ENCAMP, OLD TOWN - Encamp
    ENCAMP, OLD TOWN
    by matcrazy1
    There is a very compact part of Encamp full of picturesque, narrow, cobbled streets lined with medieval and younger houses made of natural rocks and stones. It's around church of Saint Michael and Saint John.

    There were no cars and no tourist facilities (I mean restaurants, bars, hotels) there in 1994, so it all looked really old and authentic. I hope it looks the same now. Unfortunatelly outside this area the architecture of local houses is not that pretty. Residential architecture of Encamp as well as other towns of Andorra looks very chaotic and ugly at some places.

  • In the town there is a brilliant looking climbing wall. I say wall, but really in is a very tall stretched triangular spike or shard. It looks amazing.

    There are also lots of other climbing opportunities around suitable for novices to expert.

    There are lots of brilliant downhills to blast down and test your breaks - or drive up near the lake above the town and cycle along the purpose built lovely and flat track! Brilliant views, and a couple of nice cafes to stop for a drink or lunch at.
