Anyone been to Andorra?

Hi

We're looking at going to the Pyraneese sometime soon (for a long weekend maybe), and I quite fancy the idea of going to Andorra whilst we are there.

What is it like? Anyone been?

Thanks

Its weird. Not particularly picturesque. More petrol stations than you have seen in your life on the way in.

It comprises of a big town in a mountain valley that sell a lot of designer goods. Lots of perfume and jewellery etc., although I'm not convinced there's a significant saving.

Worth a look if you're in the region.

I've been to Andorra several times, it is quite cheap fags and booze are stupidly cheap because of the tax out there as in , there is none

Went to Andorra a couple of years ago for a walking holiday with my wife.

Had a great time - stayed in Soldeu which is a good centre for walking.

Try out the spa in Andorra la Vella it is very relaxing, the main town is a bit built up, but it opens up as you get higher up in the mountains.

Andorra is also good for jeep safari's we went one one and had a great day in very remote mountains - whole villages where no one lives any more - shepherds who do not see any people for several days - very wild.

I've been a few years ago skiing, great place. Decent runs.

Drove through there and stayed the night during the Calais2Casablanca Banger rally this summer. Very weird place, especially in summer (we drove the whole way up through a massive cloud for about 4hrs, and it was perfectly sunny the other side!) but worth a trip.
