Car Hire Andorra - Mini guide to Andorra

Andorra is one of the smallest countries in the world situated beautifully in the Pyrenean Mountains near Spain. Andorra is a high landlocked country between France and Spain and the remnant of the Moorish invaders. The breathtaking mountains offer visitors a wide choice of activities from skiing, hiking and fishing.

Visitors are attracted to Andorra for its duty-free status, fabulous resorts and quaint town. One of the largest attractions to the area is skiing. There were once several individual ski resorts scattered through the region, but they merged together a few years ago, and as a result, they are now known as basically two ski areas; Vallnord and Grandvalira.

Vallnord includes Arcalis and Arinsal-Pal and are connected by a cable car and Arinsal-Pal can be accessed from La Massana in the middle of town. Grandvalira includes Soldeu and Pas de la Casa. The Soldeu is also accessible from Encamp and Canillo which helps the congestion.

During the warmer months, hiking is a favorite attraction with several starting points available. Each provides panoramic views, picnic areas and several meditation sites.

Getting around the small, condensed area is made easier by the use of the local bus system. They run on a regular schedule and are a good alternative to navigating small streets.

Hotels in Andorra include Hotel Santa Barbara de la Vall d’Ordino, Pension la Rosa, Flats in Andorra and Hotel Oriol. All provide guests a luxurious and quality room to relax in. Cuisine is primarily Catalan with a few local favorites such as Coques (flavored flat cakes), Trinaxt (a potato and cabbage dish), and Truites de carreroles (a mushroom omelette). There are also several bars and clubs throughout the area that provide a lively nightlife.

Duty-free shopping make Andorra a shoppers favorite, especially for those in the market for electronics, cameras and jewelry. There are several department stores in addition to small independent shops.

Although small, Andorra is a big tourist destination with much to offer visitors.
