Most of you know, I am trying to see 50 countries by the time I am 50. Andorra was 31 :)
While in Barcelona, I wanted to take some tours of the countryside and picked this one because it would get me to Andorra :)
We left at 7 in the morning with the company Explore Catalunya and there were about 15 of us.
We drove for about an hour and half and went to Baga, which was a small town up in the beginning parts of the mountains. It was actually cool there compared to the heat in Barcelona.
We crossed into France and had French croissants in mont-Louis. We got to walk around the town a bit.
We drove through the Pyrenees Mountains to Andorra. We stopped at a place that had great views, unfortunately, a cloud descended while we were there. Andorra has a lot of ski places and they are known for their tax free shopping - many Europeans come here for shopping trips. Most of the group ate together at an Andorran restaurant. They had a few choices for a 3 course meal for 10.50 Euros - good deal!
It took about 3 hours to drive back to Barcelona. We stopped at Coll de Nargo for a rest stop then got back around 7.
