Discover Andorra

Andorra is mountain air, hot springs and Pyrenean villages tucked between two countries.

A tiny mountain principality between France and Spain — ski resorts in winter, hiking and spa towns in summer, and famously good shopping all year.

Why Andorra

Andorra is a high-altitude escape — top-quality ski terrain, thermal spas like Caldea, and a relaxed pace that feels worlds away despite being so close to Barcelona and Toulouse.

Andorra is a Pyrenean shrug between two giant neighbours.

Must Try

  • Escudella — a slow-cooked winter stew
  • Cunillo (rabbit) the Andorran way
  • Local cheese and embotits

Must Visit

  • Caldea thermal spa
  • Ordino's stone villages
  • Soldeu / El Tarter for skiing

Before You Go

  • No airport — drive in via Spain or France
  • Duty-free shopping is real and tempting
  • Catalan is the only official language

Local Legend

Andorra has two heads of state at once — the French president and the bishop of Urgell in Spain — a feudal arrangement uninterrupted since the year 1278. Diplomatic relations don't get older than that.

Local insight

A Caldea spa in Escaldes-Engordany kept travellers floating in 35°C thermal water until well past midnight, looking up at falling snow through a glass roof. There is no other feeling quite like it.
