About Andorra
Andorra is a tiny principality in the Pyrenees, roughly 2h45 by road from Barcelona airport. In winter it offers the largest ski area in southern Europe, Grandvalira, plus Vallnord; in summer the same valleys become hiking and mountain-bike country. Low taxes make it a shopping destination year round, and there is no airport, so almost everyone arrives by road.
