In about 2 hours and 45 minutes from Barcelona, on the top of the Pyrenees , sandwiched between France and Spain is the lovely small and cozy Principality situated. Surrounded by nature, mountain, lakes and rivers Andorra still distinguished itself as a huge shopping center due to its low taxation rate. Don't forget your Passport because Andorra is not a member of the European Union. During the winter time its a famous ski resort and during summer the ideal place for hiking. The glacier lake Engolasters on one of the Pyrenees peak invites for its amazing nature. A treat should be also besides the Caldera hot springs Spa, a ride with the cable car of La Massana village to one of the peaks Pal-Arinsal which is a ski station! This tour can also include France and can be extended from 2 to 3 days!
