Visiting Andorra

 In just a little over a 3 hour drive from Lloret de Mar you can visit a totally different world - away from the mild winter climate of the Costa Brava coast you can be in the well known ski resort of Andorra. For our stay we were in the pretty village of Arinsal just by the 'Gondola' which takes skiers up the mountain.
Andorra is also known for its cheaper shopping and attracts people from Spain and France who visit the large hypermarkets and department stores to stock up on not only essential household shopping but they can also take advantage of cheaper alcohol and tobacco products...but owing to customs control you are very limited on the amount of tobacco and cigarettes etc you can import in Spain.
