Andorra to France

Travelled:80km
Stay: Font-Romeu, France -free parking near the village.  No services.  N42.50550 E2.04537
Visited: Andorra, France

Although we are sure there are many other beautiful areas to explore in Andorra,  it was time to make our departure.  We made our way back to the main road CG2; and followed that over the Port d'Anvalira 2408m and down into shopping town. This is where supposedly you can do cheap tax free purchases. But we are not convinced, although some things do appear cheaper. We did leave a little money behind before continuing down the road and across the border into France.

paella anyone?

Wow how big are those bottles!

After our shopping trip we crossed the border.

This time we took the N20 to Font-Romeu,  stopping on the Col de Puymorens for a bite to eat and into  Egat for a bit of food shopping. 

We continued on and parked up in Font-Romeu and walked through the village.  It is relatively quiet as it is predominantly a ski town and the summer season hasn't hit yet. We got some great info from the tourist office - the french know how to do this well- on some interesting things to see in the area.  One of these is the 'Solar Oven' but not sure if we will go tomorrow before our walk to a lake....only time (or the weather) can tell!

The 'Solar Oven'

This truck was parked near us and had a constant supply of customers, he must be a regular.

Yummo. BBQ night with lamb chops from NZ bought in Spain.
