What to do in Andorra

by tapon

Although Andorra is a very small country there are a lot of things to do. It's a touristic place and in the height of the season it is crowded. I visited Andorra La Vella and Pas de la Casa in winter and I liked both places.Andorra la Vella is a good city to go to with your family, your friends or your partner. It isn't very cold, it's full of people (mainly at night) and there are lots of shops, restaurants pubs,etc. If you like shopping, as I've just said, you will find many shops and normally prices are a bit lower than in the mayority of the other European countries. You can also go out with your friends and choose among many bars, most of which are in the same place as the shops. If you prefer going out for a quiet lunch or dinner you will able to find places such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza places, low-end restaurants or high-endl restaurants.Pas de la Casa is a town in the...

Stop in Pas de la Casa

by matcrazy1

Driving from France I passed through the highest pass in the Pyreneen Mountains (see my off the beaten path tip) I drove down to the first community in Andorra called Pas de la Casa which was full of numerous concrete hotels and pensions and didn't look especially great at first sight.However, the Pic Blanc (2705 m; 8875 ft) mountain covered by numerous ski lifts looked great. Pas de la Casa has the biggest ski area and highest lift-served terrain in Andorra. Now, it's linked with Soldeu, 14 km away by road.

Stop in Encamp

by matcrazy1

I stopped in a little (pop. 13,000) town of Encamp in geographical center of Andorra about 6 km from Andorra la Vella. Encamp is located at height of about 1,300 m and offers breathtaking views over surrounding mountains. Among narrow streets and passages I have found numerous - typical for the Pyrenees - old houses with walls made of natural stones and rocks. A little church in my picture - with typical for Spain single bell hang above the front entrance - church of Saint Michael and Saint John, really amazed me.

Andorra la Vella

by matcrazy1

I surelly stopped in the capital city of Andorra called Andorra la Vella. Well, at first I saw only busy and noisy traffic on main streets and numerous banks and shops advertising themselves as duty free shops. There were policewomen costumed in pretty red uniforms on a few main intersections. During my walk around the city I discovered except usual in Andorra mountain sceneries a few more small things worth to see. It includes a stone parish church (of St. Stephen; Iglesia de Sant Esteve) built in a Romanesque style in the 12th Century with a monument to a bishop and amazing stone houses hanging on steep rocks.

Romanesque Bridges - St Antoni and La Margineda

by DSwede

Andorra has many old villages and buildings, but none date back past the Roman times.There are two (if not more) Roman foot bridges that still exist in Andorra, but most people will go right past them without knowing. They only take a few minutes to visit and cost nothing.Pont de La Margineda - of the two bridges, this one is the higher, longer, wider span. (see the second photo)Pont de Sant Antoni - the smaller of the two bridges, only ~1m wide and ~10m long. But in my opinion the nicer of the two. (see first picture) The background is still more or less natural mountains and rocks. Pont de la Margineda is being encroached by modern construction and roadways.

Cultural Center

by dlandt

It looked like they have a few exhibits here, but use it more to coordinate dance contests and stuff. If you are in Andorra la Vella, stop in and take a look, you might see something interesting. Then again, you might not.

Have a walk by the country side

by davidlop

There's hundreds of romanic small churches spread along the Pyrenees; Andorra is a place with many that still keep all the walls and roofs standing up. Beautiful in spring, with the green grass surrounding them and the blue sky limiting your sight... I will try to get a picture on that season, today there was no blue sky nor green grass... :-)

The Monastery at Meritxell

by dlandt

Just outside of the small town of Canilo is the monastery at Meritxell. Two turns up the road and you will find the primary center of worship in Andorra. The main building is a tranquil, dark stoned and modern affair,which also houses the Madonna of Andorra. The overview is magnificent.

Ordino, a very picturesque litte town

by wadekorzan

Ordino is located on the main road going north from Andorra La Vella towards the ski resort called Arcalis. It is a very pretty little town, worth a stop for its old stone houses and for the Church of St. Martin. Inside the church, there are some beautiful 12th century Romanesque murals worth having a look at. Opening hours of the Church of St. Martin: July and August, 10 am to 1 pm and 3 pm to 7 pm; September to June, only for masses.
