Your Holiday Itinerary

Day One. We head to our overnight ferry to the continent enjoying dinner, entertainment and breakfast on board.

Day Two. We continue to our dinner, bed and breakfast overnight hotel in France. 

Day Three. Onwards to El Tarter where we check in to the Hotel Nordic for our seven night stay. Glass of sangria on arrival.

Day Four. A scenic drive through Andorra’s four picturesque valleys – La Massana, Ordino, Pal and Les Escaldes, feasting our eyes on marvellous landscapes and charming villages with unmistakably Andorran architecture. We arrive in Andorra la Vella where you’ll have free time to explore. Don’t miss the town square, the Casa de la Vall and the Nobility of Time sculpture by Salvador Dali, right in the heart of town.

Day Five. We take in three countries today as we cross the border into Spain’s La Seu d’Urgell, a historically important town in the Catalan Pyrenees with a Romanesque cathedral. We continue to medieval Puigcerda before calling at the classic French Pyrenean ski resort of Font Romeu. Our return to Andorra takes in Port d’Envalira – the highest surfaced pass in the region.

Days Six & Seven. Two days at leisure to explore or enjoy your hotel’s facilities.

Day Eight. Over the Spanish border again today, travelling through the Catalan countryside to the village of Ribes de Freser. From here, we snake our way up the mountain on the historic rack railway, taking in the beauty of this peaceful oasis as your carriage climbs to picture postcard Vall de Nuria. We return to our hotel via the mountain resort of La Molina.

Day Nine. Our sightseeing today starts off with a stop at the sacred sanctuary of Meritxell, home to a striking basilica, with a statue of Our Lady of Meritxell, the country’s patron saint. We continue to Engolasters, an idyllic lakeside beauty spot. Our final stop is in Os de Civis - a Spanish hamlet that, due to its geography, cannot be entered from Spain. It is Spain’s only pene-exclave, and home to typically Pyrenean buildings.

Day Ten. We check out and journey to our dinner, bed and breakfast overnight hotel.

Day Eleven.
We continue to our return overnight ferry with dinner, entertainment and breakfast onboard.

Day Twelve. We travel home after our Andorran adventure.
