Beauty in Andorra
Cosily located between France and Spain, and nestled in the snowy peaks of the Pyrenean Mountains, Andorra may be small but it is definitely worth a visit for those looking for premium skiing terrain, hiking opportunities, and lush scenery.
The capital Andorra la Vella has a vibrant arts and food scene, as well the largest spa complex in Europe and much of the rest of Andorra is made up of scatterings of picture perfect villages and towns set amidst a backdrop of spectacular vistas. Architecture lovers also won’t feel out of place here, as there are medieval and Romanesque buildings in abundance, many set on imposing hilltops or hidden away at the end of mountain lanes.
Perfect for exploring at your leisure in a bid to uncover as many hidden gems as possible long the way. Let’s have a look at the best places to visit in Andorra!
While some of the best winter scenery in Andorra can be enjoyed on the ski slopes, the coming of snow adds another dimension to the country's prettiest towns and villages. A favorite winter sightseeing spot is along the Valira d'Orient river in the village of la Cortinada, when the fresh snowfallmakes the scene reminiscent of a Christmas card.
Be sure to include Sant Esteve Church (Església de Sant Esteve) on your list of "must-shoots" in Andorra la Vella. This spectacular 12th-century medieval church is as photo worthy inside as it is outside, especially since it has been fully restored. The best time to capture the church in a photo is spring or summer when the surrounding flowerbeds and blooms are at their peak.
