Andorra


Travelled:94km

Andorra

Stay: Ordino- Aire parking 0.50c/hr free from 8pm-9am , € services N42.556309 E1.532580 

After walking through the market in La Seu d'Urgell we decided to head North into Andorra. Just got to love markets in Europe. Unlike the ones in Melbourne where they set up in car parks or school grounds, here they take over the streets.



 There was even a section for the elderly to come with their little carts and sell their home made produce.

 7km later we literally drove through the border. 


Our mission was to get quotes on 2 new tyres as Andorra is well known for its tax free shopping and hoped we could get a good saving. Unfortunately after asking 4 tyre mobs, none stocked our size! So we took a side road up into ski country past  Arinsal.

Then went to ski resort past El Serrat. We reached snow where the road ends and after a bite to eat we walked the short distance to view a couple of lakes that were still frozen over. We did contemplate staying up here the night but the 2229m alt. Would mean a cold night and we both feel a little funny up here!





















 We decended down into the Valley to the aire in Ordino, parked up and went for a walk in the village.
