              Andorra! Een van de 5 Europese dwergstaten<\/em><\/strong>!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Andorra, perhaps you have done some research about it out of curiosity about this small country between Spain and France, wedged in the Pyrenees. That curiosity has led us to visit this small country in 2022, in combination with Barcelona. Once we arrived there, we were positively surprised! This small country turns out to have a lot to offer! Although the visit alone is nice to add another country to the collection \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Andorra, the small country full of surprises! <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              As a small country, Andorra is a big exception in Western Europe, it does not belong to the EU. But does use the euro. They use Catalan as their official language, which is the only official country in the world! As a principality, this country has a rich history that goes back far into the Middle Ages. The many kingdoms and principalities have largely disappeared, with countries such as Andorra\/Luxembourg\/San Marino and Liechtenstein as exceptions. That is precisely why Andorra is a comparable country to the other European dwarf states. The heads of state are also an exception, although completely symbolic, at the moment it is a bishop from Spain, Joan Enric Vives i Sic\u00edlia and the head of state of France, Emmanuel Macron. As a history lover and someone who wants to know vague facts, a country like Andorra is a nice addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Voor een landje zo groot als de provincie Utrecht is er gek genoeg nog genoeg te doen! Persoonlijk vond ik de hoofstad Andorra la Vella niet eens zo heel bijzonder, het is een gok en inkoopparadijs. Niet mijn ding, wel grappig vond ik om de ”eigen” dingen te zien wat een land zich eigen maakt. Zoals de post\/politie van Andorra wat toch weer een eigen identiteit heeft. En uiteraard een stempeltje bij het toeristenbureau halen voor in je paspoort is toch ook wel een erg tof souvenir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              What's even more fun in Andorra is going into the mountains! Located in the Pyrenees, the landscape is beautiful! You can enjoy a very nice walk at El Serrat, the road to it is already beautiful. Take the cable car up and enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains! From there you can follow countless trails, both in Andorra and towards Spain\/France. The landscape is slightly different than in the Alps. Well above the tree line you can enjoy the rugged landscape here, which is usually covered in snow in winter! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Over sneeuw gesproken, in Andorra is een levendige skicultuur! Het landje telt meerdere ski-oorden, zoals rondom El Serrat en Grau Roig. De pistes zijn erg uitgebreid en de stadjes die erbij zaten zagen eruit dat ze in de winter genoeg faciliteiten hebben. Wij waren er in de zomer van 2022, maar van de locals begrepen wij dat er een hoge mate van Skigebieden zijn van goeie kwaliteit! Kan je dat mooi bij de koffietafel zeggen dat je in een onbekender land bent gaan ski\u00ebn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Practical tips for your visit to Andorra! <\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              To get to Andorra you have to do something, as a separate trip it would be a bit too little. However, Andorra is very suitable for combining your trip with other destinations! Consider combining a further visit to the Pyrenees or the South of France or further into Spain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Vanuit Toulouse rijdt er meermaals per dag een bus naar Andorra, doet er ongeveer 4 uur over. Wij deden ons bezoek van Barcelona, wat of een busrit van rond de 3 uur is. Of zoals wij het deden een huurauto hebben gepakt om wat flexibeler te zijn. Vliegen of de trein naar Andorra pakken is een uitdaging kunnen wij je vertellen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              • Andorra uses the \u20ac<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Andorra uses the UTC+1 Timezone<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Andorra uses the standard plugs for mainland Europe<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • The official language is Catalan, but English is also widely spoken<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • The pricelevel is comparable to Western European prices <\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • 1-3 days is enough for Andorra, so it is more convenient to combine with surrounding destinations!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Kortom een landje als Andorra vonden wij de moeite voor wie eens een gek land wilt toevoegen aan je lijstje! Echter was het voor ons meer als enkel land voor in de verzameling, in tegenstelling tot Liechtenstein waar vrij weinig te doen is, heb je in Andorra toch wat leuke en mooie plekjes wat te moeite is om te bezoeken! <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
