Answer information department "The subtleties of tourism"
Andorra attracts Spaniards and tourists as a country of duty-free trade, but in recent years, a significant difference in prices has remained for only a few items of goods, and the attractiveness of the state as a place for shopping has declined markedly. For those who want to make a purchase profitable can be a more important option of shopping in Spain with a tax refund. Thus, Andorra today is more interesting as an excursion.

Andorra on a tour can go from Barcelona, ​​Salou, Cambrils, La Pineda and a number of other cities. The most popular option is a 12-hour excursion, or one-day excursions close to it by saturation. As a rule, these are bus tours, including the capital of the Principality, Andorra la Vella, with visits to the resorts of Ordino and La Massana. The program includes both enjoying the magnificent nature of the Pyrenees, as well as architectural sights and museums - orthodox icons of the 16th - 19th centuries, microminiatures, tobacco, cars, etc.

The only nuance to note: if you have a single Schengen visa, then on the way back to Spain there can be difficulties - often border guards turn a blind eye to such small violations in the case of a one-day organized excursion, while for traveling on cars this can be a problem. That is why recently, when traveling to Spain, a visa with a double entry is often offered. Specify the procedure for passing the border in advance.
