The Principality of Andorra<\/strong> is a destination<\/strong> that in winter, with all the range of offers for tourists<\/strong> , is a country<\/strong> where hotels are practically always at maximum occupancy; there are always many people and during holiday periods such as Christmas<\/strong> and Easter<\/strong> there is not even room for a needle.<\/p>\n\n

But in addition to its commercial axis<\/strong> and the social activities<\/strong> that can be done, such as shopping, skiing<\/strong> , enjoying the SPA<\/strong> offered by Caldea<\/strong> , Andorra<\/strong> has much more to offer<\/strong> and enjoy<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n

The surroundings<\/strong> and its culture<\/strong> allow you to enjoy many sporting and\/or cultural<\/strong> activities<\/strong> . It has 65 peaks<\/strong> over 2500m high, where you can find many hiking routes<\/strong> and discover its lakes<\/strong> , as well as enjoy adventure<\/strong> and mountain<\/strong> sports, both in winter<\/strong> and summer<\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n

One of its valleys<\/strong> , specifically the Madriu-Perafita-Claror valley,<\/strong> was declared a World Heritage Site in 2004<\/strong> , in the category of cultural landscape<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n

On a socio-cultural<\/strong> level, there are also many museums, monuments<\/strong> and activities<\/strong> throughout the year, which complement the range of activities<\/strong> to do in this small-great country<\/strong> . Therefore, you can choose this destination<\/strong> perfectly to enjoy Andorra<\/strong> during the holidays<\/strong> or even make several getaways during the year<\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n

Andorra<\/strong> is one of the highest countries in Europe<\/strong> . Andorra la Vella is the capital of the Principality<\/strong> and the highest capital in Europe<\/strong> . Located in the central valley of the country<\/strong> , it has an average altitude of 1,050 metres. The highest point in the territory is the Alto del Comapedrosa peak<\/strong> (2,942 m) and the lowest point is at the Runer River<\/strong> crossing the border with Spain<\/strong> (838 m). The average altitude is 1,996 m. <\/p>\n\n

Its entire surface<\/strong> , which has about 468km, is distributed as follows: a 92% approx. mountains, with their forests, lakes\/rivers and 8% urbanized <\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Living in Andorra has many advantages<\/strong> , among others, SafeAround<\/em> recently declared Andorra la Vella<\/strong> to be one of the safest destinations<\/strong> , with a score of 88.6 out of 100. Its economic and political security<\/strong> , geography<\/strong> and social level<\/strong> mean that there are no incidents and even travelling to Andorra is completely satisfactory and safe<\/strong> . In addition, Andorran, Spanish and French customs<\/strong> favour a high level of citizen security<\/strong> and guarantee the peace of mind of visitors during their stay in the Principality<\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n

Although you have to go through customs<\/strong> in both Spain and France<\/strong> to enter and leave Andorra<\/strong> , you do not need a visa<\/strong> . A passport or identity document<\/strong> is more than enough for adults. If you are bringing children under the age of 18<\/strong> , you only need a passport<\/strong> and a family book<\/strong> , and those who bring pets<\/strong> will also need a passport and an up-to-date vaccination book<\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n

Another thing to keep in mind, if you come to Andorra in your own car<\/strong> , is to check that you have the insurance receipt up to date<\/strong> , since it is mandatory<\/strong> and in the event that you are stopped at customs, they can claim it from you.<\/p>\n\n

Also, before making any purchase in the country<\/strong> , we recommend finding out which products<\/strong> may need to be declared<\/strong> and what quantity is allowed per person<\/strong> , both in terms of agricultural and industrial products.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Let yourself be surprised<\/strong> in Andorra<\/strong> , both in winter<\/strong> and summer<\/strong> , and enjoy everything it has to offer<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n
