My first Winter Wonderland, first skiing lesson, and first beginners' slalom! (every participant received a little souvenir to prove it). The honour I received to go down the slope first and do all those curves by my Thai guys, thanks mate....=)
I may very well be wrong about Andorra, the weather was bad and we wanted to do more than just shop. We had some lovely views of snow covered mountains which we enjoyed and the trip along the smaller roads from Barcelona was wonderful.I like shopping (which woman does not) but it is not the main reason for a trip
Go shopping in the capital of Andorra and amaze your self of the low prices, the friendly people and the size of this living big city in the middle of a wonderfull nature. When you want sales, you beter go shopping in the little streets where it's even cheaper. What I miss the most when I'm away from Andorra is the beautiful nature.
Many years ago it was a paradise to go shopping, but nowthe best is going to enjoy the fantastic mountains, walking,photography, search for a quiet valley, relaxing in a lonelyand old church. If your travel is on winter, Andorra is aparadise of skiing.
The first appearance of the name of Andorra is found in the grant of 843 A.D. made by Charles the Bald to his faithful count Sunifred of Urgell of the valley of Andorra situated in the county of Urgell.Beginning in the 10th and 11th centuries, the dominion of the bishops of Urgell gradually extended over the valleys of Andorra and from the 12th century onwards these became an episcopal lordship. A period of conflict and hostility between the bishops of Urgell and the counts of Foix over the sovereignty of Andorra began in the 13th century and was brought to an end by the signature of two successive agreements called Pariatges.The first Pariatge was signed in 1278 by bishop Pere d'Urtx of Urgell and Roger Bernat III, count of Foix and viscount of Castellbò.The second was signed ten years later, in 1288, also by Pere d'Urtx and Roger Bernat III. The Pariatges are among the basic documents...
The Principality of Andorra is a state located in the heart of the Pyrenees between Spain and France. It has a surface area of 468 sq.km. and a population of 65,877 inhabitants.The capital is Andorra la Vella. Andorra is divided into three valleys forming a Y-shape, holding the Northern and Eastern Valira rivers which join up to form the Great Valira and separated by mountain crests of a considerable height. The average altitude of the Principality is 1996 m.
ANDORRA is a great place to go anytime of the year!But I should say that I like it best in winter, it's a skiing country, lots of skiing resorts in a really small country! It is small but I think that every single inch of Andorra is beautiful!You absolutely must enjoy nature and sports, trekking, skiing,...also don't miss all the little villages, love them too!!

Andorra la Vella and all around (which is not so much).The sightseeing is absolutely marvelous. I spent my honeymoon there, during February and since I come from a country it little snow it was absolutelly wonderfull to be surronded by snow.
