Andorra is a country with a rich history, so it is not surprising if, after visiting it, you will find a strong Roman bridge, a mysterious medieval temple or an Arab fortress. This country is small, but in it (except for the ski slopes) there are many interesting excursions. So!
Andorra la Vella
It is the capital of a mountain principality, a picturesque city, framed by mountains, like a diamond in the crown. Here there are a large number of medieval buildings and handicraft workshops. From historical sights it is worth not to miss the church of St. Armenol, as well as the residence of the government. Of the more recent cultural buildings - the Music Academy, the State Theater, and the Plaza de la Poble, where a large number of ceremonies are held.
Thermal complexes are the pearl of Andorra. Artificial fountains and geysers, steam shower, sauna, water games, pools with hydromassage, as well as baths for every taste: Turkish, Roman, Indian ... And of course: solariums and Jacuzzis, massage rooms, and a large selection of sports grounds. br>
Having gone on a tour of Andorra, do not forget to look into Encamp, where there is a large sports complex and the National Automobile Museum .That's where it's worth to go with my son! And with his daughter and his wife you can go to the picturesque Ordino valley - there is a lovely Museum of architectural miniatures of all buildings in Andorra (an excellent place to see everything worthwhile, especially if you do not have time to review the whole of Andorra), and the Orthodox icons museum .In addition, Ordinowo see the Plett quarters with their ancient houses built of wood and stone .

Barcelona
This is, of course, a Spanish city, but regular buses run from Andorra (only a few hours). Excursions to Barcelona from Andorra are held weekly. In Barcelona, just "off scale" the number of attractions! 40 diverse museums, the Gothic Quarter, which in itself is a tourist attraction, cozy restaurants, and of course, the city's crowning statue of Christopher Columbus.
Toulouse
This, already a French town, is also within the tourist reach, so it is also not worth to give up the examination of this stylish place with a rich historical past. Known as the "pink city" (because almost all of its mansions are built of red brick), Toulouse is buried in gardens, and its magnificent squares are created especially for guests from other countries.
