We decided to take a day trip to Andorra since it was only a couple of hours away. It was a very scenic, but winding, drive through the Pyrenees to Andorra. Andorra is a small country that is bordered by France to the north and Spain to the south. We took our passports thinking we would get our passport stamped but we were able to drive straight into the country with hardly a slowdown.

We wert to the capital of Andorra, Andorra la Vella. The capital is the highest capital city in Europe at a little over 3,300 feet. I’m sure most people either go to Andorra for winter sports or the cheap shopping that is tax free. The city was pretty lively with traffic but we were able to find a parking garage. We walked around the town for a couple of hours before heading back to Espot. The drive back in took longer because of the long line of traffic waiting to get back into Spain. They didn’t check our passports but it took about 20 minutes to get through the border crossing. Tomorrow we leave Espot and drive 5 hours to the northern coast of Spain.
