There are a few spots where one can have great fun if you go for excursions from Andorra. You will find short but pretty trails in "la Rabassa" which is located just 24 km from the center of Andorra-la-Vella and that offers a breathtaking view of the Spanish Cadí mountain range. While taking excursions from Andorra you can drive up to the Port Negre (2'605m) from where you can see all of Andorra as well as some of the most picturesque fishing spots.
One of the excursions from Andorra can be a drive up to the "Col de la Botella," which starts between the Arinsal and Pal ski resorts. From there, you can follow the old smuggler's trail to Spain via Tor, Alins and Sort. The return route takes you via Os de Civis where you can enjoy a typical Catalan lunch before returning to the city center. This route is one of the prettiest in the region and is a must include in your Andorra tours.
The more adventurous can head for the Mediterranean Sea (Port Bou) via dirt tracks which can be reached from Andorra in 3 days. One must count about 10 days in order to reach the Atlantic Cape Hendaye. If you are planning to do some fishing in Andorra, a jeep is the perfect vehicle in order to get from one lake to the next.
The country is mountainous, crisscrossed by a main road which runs roughly north-east to south-west, along which most of the villages are to be found. Many of these are villages with Romanesque churches and houses built in the local style for the visitor, however, Andorra’s two greatest attractions are that it is both a duty free state and a center for winter sports.
Andorra la Vella, the country’s capital, lies at the junction of two mountain streams. In your excursions in Andorra include the fine 12th-century church and the Casa de la Vall, the ancient seat of government, located in Andorra la Vella.
Adjoining the capital is the spa town of Escaldes-Engordany which also bears testimony to Romanesque architecture. These towns are also the center of the colorful Andorran local festival in early September, in honor of the Virgin of Meritxell.
18km from Escaldes-Engordany, off the main road, is the hamlet of El Serrat, which offers a breathtaking view across the mountains. The town of Encamp, between the capital and the French frontier, is also worth a visit and should find a place in excursions from Andorra.
