Andorra la Vella

The ultimate driving machine:
Driving from France to Andorra I saw an electronic signs saying that snow chains were need to use the road – What rubbish I though, the sky is blue, there’s no sign of snow. However as I climbed higher into the Pyrenees it became apparent that the sign was telling the truth… Luckily I’ve got a four wheel drive car, so I still made it to Andorra. The ultimate driving machine isn’t a rear wheel drive one!

I visited Andorra on my Moroccan trip in October 1997, I spent a few hours in the capital 'Andorra la Vella'. Andorra has no taxes so it's a shoppers paradise - if you're travelling by car, make sure you arrive with an empty tank of petrol and left with a full one! That's about all I can say..

Okay - not a great picture,
but it proves I've been there!
