Hi
We went on hols to the south of France in the early 2000s and popped over to Andorra one day.
Can't say the place appealed. Felt like a cramped shopping centre, busy trying to sell stuff to those wanting to get things possibly a bit cheaper (although I was looking at a dSLR at the time, and while the prices there were cheaper than UK high street prices, with a bit of hunting round I could have pretty much got one in the UK for about the same price as in Andorra).
Mountain road over the top into the place was nice.
All the best

From the Spain side it is a very twisty route to the first big settlement was ok. There is even a big bike shop in the middle of town.
After that isn't nice. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will. In the end, your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching. |

Some mixed replied in this thread thus far.
We were there last year and quite enjoyed it. We went in from the east from Perpignan in southern France and left heading south into Spain (think that is the only road you can get into Spain from if I remember right).
The roads are amazing and scenery just as breathtaking. Very smooth roads with loads of ups (and then downs) hairpin bends, etc. And Andorra la Vella was quite impressive as well - not impressive as something you haven't seen before but where it is located; high up in the mountains got you thinking about how they get their supplies up there - when you see the roads that lead to the city.
Lots of places selling cheap duty-free type items if you are into that, and quite a lot of bike shops as well for such a small place.
Actually choose to visit here instead of going down towards Barcelona and glad that we did. Its not somewhere that many people would consider going to and you can basically visit Barcelona any time.
I was going to post a lot of pics from it but wont bother. |

We stopped there for a night during our Spain roadtrip. The roads to arrive there were fantastic. However we only layover in Andorra for the night before setting on. The views were nice but didn't really see much because the weather was terrible and we were tired and hungry ____________________ 2004 R1 & 2018 XSR900 |
