Andorra Travel Guide

Getting to Andorra is quite difficult, I would even say that it is the most isolated European capital. There is no railway station in Andorra and getting to Andorra la Vella from the closest railway stations in France and Spain in somewhat nightmarish. The easiest option is to take a coach from Barcelona City Centre, Barcelona Airport, Girona...

The city of Andorra la Vella came up with the idea to combine the irrigation canal on their northern mountainside with a hiking trail creating an area to relax. The trail does through several private gardens - some more beautiful, other less so - and offers a good view onto the city.The path itself is completely flat, but to get up there you have...

It's a truly ski resort more than a village. Its name literally translates as "the pass of the house" and refers to the fact that until the early twentieth century there was only a single shepherd's hut overlooking the pass.The pass marks the watershed of the Pyrenees, being the only point in Andorra where water drains into the Atlantic Ocean, and...

The Sat Pere Church (Saint Peter) is a modern building, from 1.985, but keeping the traditional style with contemporary lines. In fact it's one of the nicer buildings in town. Indoor is also very original, with a rounded altar.You can see the mass schedule on the link below.

Flew Dublin - Toulouse with Ryanscare chartered flight. Then got a bus from Toulouse to Arinsal via Pas de la Casa and Andorra La Vella. Came home by ambulance when my friend had a skiing accident and I stayed on to help. Of course this meant missing the flight home from Toulouse. We had to be transferred to Barcelona by ambulance and flew back to...

Arinsal skiresort isnt as well known as the likes of Gstaad, St Moritz or Kitzbuehel, so I think Arinsal itself is as off the beaten path as you can get. You can explore the rest of the parish (called La Massana) if you want to take a break from skiing.

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.

There is a place called 'Mort qui t'ha mort' that is really funny and good place. It's situated behind the major street of Escaldes. If you ask to people where is it thry surely will know where it is.It plays music like rock and pop, but take care that in Andorra the locals close at 4 a.m., it's not Spain, Andorra is another country and it has its...
