Andorra Travel Guide

Andorra is a very small landlocked country located between Spain and France. At present, Andorra mainly develops its economy through tourism. The tourism industry is very developed and social welfare is very high. The natural scenery here is very beautiful. Here I will share with you a travel guide to Andorra.

On February 5, it was cloudy and it started to rain early in the morning. I slept for less than 3 hours and was woken up by the alarm clock at 5am. I packed up in a hurry and arrived at the bus stop. Luckily, I had more time, so I drove to Andorra with an empty car.

At that time, I had just arrived in Spain for two and a half years, but I had never been to this country, which is only three hours drive from Barcelona. If it weren't for this coincidence, I don't know how long it would have been delayed.

The last time I went to Zaragoza seemed to be half a year ago. Put aside the tedious work, the bus has already left Barcelona, ??you don’t even need to look at the map navigation on your phone, and you don’t bother to read the road signs. Just be a tourist and travel easily.

Outside the city, it was already raining heavily. When you rest with your eyes closed, it's like listening to the sound of rain, releasing your perceptual self again to experience and feel your passion with the world.

The sound of washing the windows in the rain is exciting. There was only the sound of wheels crossing the ground, and the car was very quiet. Looking around, the city that has not yet woken up is dotted with stars, blurred in the rain.

The beautiful picture is like the feeling of someone in your heart. Not far away, not clear, but hazy, it makes you want to get closer to her, but you are afraid that she will run away or turn away. At this time, I feel like a writer and poet.

It’s hard to talk about these feelings. People will become more and more closed-minded and secretive. It's not because they are old, but after encountering too many things, you have to be deep.

But it’s rare to relax. It is better to look at the world thoroughly, rationally and naively.

As the bus drove all the way north and entered the mountains, it felt like the sky suddenly brightened and it started to rain. The dense coniferous forest along the way is completely different from the scene in Madrid and the south. I watched the fog gather in the forest, and occasionally a clear lake appeared in the forest.

Looking at the winding mountain road really makes the driver sweat, especially when he sees a series of high-speed cars on the opposite side. The mountains and fields are not only a natural scenery, but also a bridge built by a modern railway, coexisting quietly with the reeds in the lake.

It is already winter. In a city like Barcelona, ??apart from the cold wind, you cannot feel the climate changes of the four seasons. The further north you go, the less green there is, with only a large number of dead shrubs waiting to be reborn in the spring.

Occasionally, a bus leaves the highway and drives into an unknown town, with no houses of any architectural style or characteristics. This may be a common situation in small towns.

Near the mountains, the rocks are sparkling, the mountains are filled with mist, the lakes and mountains are beautiful, and it feels like the Three Gorges. A cave goes in and out, entering the tunnel, which is smooth and monotonous. When you come out, you can see the scenery of lakes and mountains, as if you were blindfolded when you were a child.

Then the car turned from the mountain road, and suddenly it turned white, and the world was covered with a thin layer of snow. What a long-lost scene. This is another town where the snow is not deep. The road was a bit muddy and the snowy mountains were right in front of us. In front of the bar where the snow had not accumulated, one or two smokers were shivering and blowing smoke rings.

I don't know what time I will arrive at the hotel, even in the heavy rain I can't tell the time. The original plan for the first day was to go skiing. There was indeed snow in the mountains, but when we arrived at the hotel, we learned through the front desk that it was impossible to enter the mountains on such a snowy day, so we had to forget about skiing. Stroll around Andorra la Vella, the capital of a state within a state. It only takes 30 minutes to get out of the city.

The next day, the weather was rare. After learning that we could ski, we asked for directions and kept going.

After coming down from the cable car, there were countless skiers on a snowy hill. It was my first time skiing and I didn’t know what clothes to bring. I rented equipment at a snowfield rental shop, then I hit the trails and started gliding. There is no teacher to teach basic skills and professional attire, so we just wear jackets and jeans, and finally a pair of gloves, and start practicing. Naturally, I fell badly, but I didn’t learn any skills. In this way, I still enjoyed playing for most of the morning.

Even in the beginner area, it still feels steep the first time you ski.

With pain all over my body, I hurried back to Barcelona in the afternoon.

But this is only my first time here. I can’t remember how many times I have been to Andorra since then. I have also learned to ski, but I can’t take revenge in the snow resorts of Andorra. , so what’s the harm?

This article is mostly related to emotions, but unexpectedly it has a special political topic.

Finally, let me explain here to avoid being suspected of being a clickbait.

The Catalan-speaking country, two-thirds of which is Spanish and Portuguese, became an independent country until 1993, when it adopted its constitution to join the United Nations.

The relationship between France and the West is also deeply affected by the political changes in the two countries in history.

As a constitutional monarchy, her head of state has two princes, one is the president of France and the other is the protagonist of the Roman Catholic diocese of Jugueil in Catalonia, but in fact she has no power .

In return, Andorra's defense is the responsibility of France and Spain.
