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.
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.
