Andorra La Vella to Barcelona

By James Smith @onlybyland

Church of Saint Stephen - Andorra la Vella


Andorra la Vella is the main town of Andorra, the only reason I visited Andorra is to visit another country.  This is actually a great place for skiing in winter, so in the winter season Andorra is full of tourists.  In the summer months, as Andorra is a tax free state, there are many French and Spanish visitors buying alcohol and tobacco.  Because I visited in the off season, the Andorra la Vela hotels were very quiet and very good value.  The town is situated on the side of a mountain, and you can take free elevators up to the different levels of town, which is easier than walking up the streets.

Andorra la Vella to Barcelona direct bus service -  €33

From the tiny bus station in Andorra la Vela, there is a useful bus service called DirectBus which leaves every 2 hours to Barcelona Sants and Barcelona airport.  This service takes 3 hours with free wifi and phone chargers.
