Andorra Northern Spain, Southern France and breathtaking Pyrenees mountains come together in a delightful destination called Andorra. Its own country, Andorra remains largely undiscovered among tourists, meaning that savvy travelers like you can avoid the throngs of tourists that head to more well known regions in Spain and France.
The language spoken here is Catalan, which ties into the cultural romance and mystery of Spain’s warm, charming Catalonia region that includes Barcelona and Valencia. But Andorra preserves some of the regal opulence of its French cultural ties as well, providing a refined pleasantness and deluxe hospitality everywhere you go. It’s also a well-known fact that Andorra is the place to go for duty-free shopping, so stock up on souvenirs and gifts while you’re here.
And while there is a delightful cultural fusion that occurs in Andorra, similar luck seems to have been had as the lusciousness of Andorra’s scenic, verdant countryside blends with the crisp, warm sea breezes that waft in from the Mediterranean.
Begin your tour of Andorra in the heart of this small country, at a priceless gem of a town called Andorra la Vella, replete which fairytale castles and fascinating historical attractions. Check out, for instance, the Castle of Sant Vicenç d'Enclar, constructed just about a millennium ago, this fantastic structure is the essence of Medieval Europe.
The Vall del Riu is a scenic valley that is perfect for cycling excursions. Rent a bicycle or join up with a tour group in the city of Andorra la Vella, and head out into the fragrant countryside, visit quaint villages and buy souvenirs from the locals. Northern Andorra has even more French influence, and, as always, the Pyrenees Mountain Range is breathtaking. Lodging in Andorra is a first class experience, not only is it easy to find great value here, but the experience is imbued with folksy charm. It is probably a good idea to call ahead to make reservations, and have a hassle free time enjoying the friendliness, beauty and duty-free shopping that put Andorra on the map. |
