Andorra la Vella

« Without snow, it wouldn't be complete, but on the third day it was amazing! The weather was fabulous, with snow piling up so much that if you fall, you can only see your hat! ❄️😊 »

« 🇦🇩 Visiting Andorra - my dream for four years. I’ve been studying this country, planning routes, budgeting, and dreaming about exploring it together with friends. But, the 2014 crisis - and the euro skyrocketed from $1 to $2, pushed this dream away for a few years 😐.

Today, on the second day of my ski trip, I got lost in the Pyrenees. Well, to be precise, I lost my friends as we were skiing, each taking different routes, scattering across different slopes. I ended up completely disoriented when we all decided to go down on the same lift at once. And it turned out, I was sliding down into another part of this country, two slopes away from where my hotel is.

Around, everyone only speaks Catalan, and I had €10 in my pocket, which was just enough to buy a map to help me remember the hotel name and my own name))) But, no connection, so thank you to my frozen iPhone! I started feeling very lost, desperate to find a local bus, rummaging through their numbers, then I traveled across the terrain back to my hotel.

And, looking at the Andorran streets out the window, I became excited again by the thought that my dream was coming true! I’m ready to get lost in this country over and over again ❤️. »

« I visited the small country of Andorra today, a place known for its duty-free shopping and stunning mountain roads. Such an interesting spot, not quite related to France or Spain, but unique in its own right. The whole road was maintained perfectly, with no oncoming cars, which made the drive really enjoyable. It’s quite difficult to come across such turns with oncoming traffic, and the road is often lined with breathtaking scenery.

The local wine selection is just fantastic, and you can buy excellent wine for just a few euros. The prices are truly low considering the quality. Overall, it was a delightful experience! 🍷✨ »

« Casa de la Vall - House of Dollars. The building is home to the Andorran parliament, established in 1580. While Andorra itself may not boast a plethora of attractions, this is definitely one of the most notable ones. The House is depicted on the Andorran coins, denominated in 1 euro. »
