Hi

Does anyone out there have experience of travelling to Andorra from the French side re gradients etc. Checked it out on google maps and everything looks fine.  Staying maybe 3 nights then down into Spain to Camping las Dunas.

Any info much appreciated

Regards

John Turner

    We've done it, some years ago, with a caravan, towed by a Ford Mondeo.  We didn't have any problems, but it is a long winding hill.

    But is there any reason why you want to go to Andorra for three days - we found the main town quite a depressing place, with rows of cheap Tabacs, cheap booze shops, and cheaper still tat shops.  We've never been back - and don't forget that there are strict restrictions on how much booze and cigarettes you can buy - and this is policed.  We were stopped on our way out by the customs 'police' because we'd bought too many cigarettes, but instead of paying the exhorbitant tax (which would have made them most costly then in England) we opted to take them back to the shop and exchanged them for an alarm clock.

    Given the comment about playing one bank against the other in the post above, I imagine you must have asked about exchange rates, but we didn't find the Bureau de Change in Andorra any different from anywhere else.
