Andorra is the seventeenth smallest country in the world, just to give you some idea of its size. While it may be small, there is soo much to offer, and that size doesn’t matter. Here are our top reasons why you should visit Andorra this year.
The Ski Resorts
Andorra is located in the middle of the Pyrenees, making it one of Europe’s best destinations for winter sports—especially skiing. This year Andorra is hosting the Winter Olympics. It’s home to many winter sports resorts, so there are plenty of options.
The Shopping
Despite being tiny, it is surprisingly a fantastic shopping spot. Andorra de la Vella’s capital includes shops, department stores, fashion boutiques, and hypermarkets. The main reason it is so popular as a shopping destination is its tax-free shopping.
The Cuisine
Andorra’s cuisine is heavily influenced by its neighboring countries, France and Spain, especially Catalunya. Their national dish is Escudella, a hearty broth stew filled with chunks of meat and vegetables and large pasta shells with beans or chickpeas. Although Adorra has no coastline, making fish scarce, there are often trout in mountain streams, depending on the seasons.
