안도라 (26.03.-29.03.19)

After spending our last night in France under olive trees overlooking the Pyrenees in the wilderness, our adventure in Andorra began.

I believe that most people immediately have clichés in mind when it comes to many countries. At least, that's how I feel. For Germans, it's the potatoes and sauerkraut, in Spain they eat a lot of tapas, in France it's baguettes... But when it comes to Andorra, we didn't have any clichés in mind. We simply had no idea what to expect.

But now, I think of cheap gasoline prices (we filled up with diesel for €1.03), beautiful houses, and above all, that the Andorrans must be master builders of serpentine roads :D

Our first activity in Andorra was a hike along a steep mountainside. At times, we had to overcome ice surfaces near the edge with shaky knees, where slipping was not an option. This hike was classified as "easy" and "for the whole family" in our information booklet, which we couldn't quite understand. Nevertheless, we had a lot of fun, lots of adrenaline in our blood, and a magnificent view of the Pyrenees.

After spending the night at a campsite in the small town of Canillo, we drove to a viewpoint the next day that we had already seen from the valley. This dizzying platform offered a fantastic view of the city and the surrounding mountain landscape.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of parking for vehicles of our size, we could not visit Andorra la Vella, the capital of Andorra, but we did visit a slightly smaller neighboring town.

From there, we drove even higher into the mountains and spent our last night in Andorra at an altitude of 1600m.
