Get my free travel blogTax-free shopping in Andorra
Stock up on items from music to jewelry (and everything in between) in the tax-free country of Andorra. In this quaint small principality located between France and Spain, visitors outnumber residents to take advantage of tax-free shopping, great ski resorts, and the beautiful mountains, lakes, and valleys planted in the middle of the Pyrenees.
Real Travel bloggers enjoyed Andorra’s hot springs, cheap drinks and night life, dramatic scenery, and outdoor activities. Andorra’s capital is Andorra la vella, the largest city with the highest concentration of the country’s 2000 shops. As the Journeyers, put it: “The place is clean, pretty, and unbelievably full of stores.”
Other Real Travel bloggers suggest drinks at El Cau in the Andorran village of Arinsal, Anyos Park where the locals are extremely friendly to kids, and skiing wherever you see fit.
Here’s what Mikey 08 had to say about his outing in Andorra:
“After a drive from Avignon, and a lunch pit stop in a village in the foot of the Pyrenees, we traveled up through the beautiful mountains, until we reached the tiny principality of Andorra. It has a Swiss feel about the place, and also reminds me of Aviemore in Scotland. Our campsite it wedged at the foot of a steep, high mountain, with only a river and road, before another steep mountain goes up the other side. It´s very cloudy here and also rains a couple of times. After pitching our tents, I venture into the local area for a look around. There are houses perched on top of the mountains, and I have no idea how they get into town for the shops. Maybe they abseil? There´s a local pool, so I spend the early evening going for a swim. Our group went out for dinner at a lovely little Andorran restaurant. How many people can say they´ve been to one of those?”
Do some shopping and embrace the small villages of Andorra on your next drive through the Pyrenees mountains.
