Day 65 - Sunday 7 July - Barcelona to Andorra

Sunday 7 July

We were packed up nice and early, and now we know the way, walked to the station instead of getting a cab.  We have to go past the old prison, which held many political prisoners during the Spanish Revolution, but is now closed down.

We were waiting for the bus well before take-off at 10:15. We passed Montserrat and kept heading west through wheat country, small fields separated by rock walls, and little villages crammed in on the tops of hills, and some bigger towns.

Then we turned north into hills and rocks, which became steeper as we went.

 

 Where is the chapel?

 Sunday market in Organya

We didn't stop until the border, but our passports had already been registered so the bus went through OK. Andorra uses euro, but is not an EU country.

We had to wait for a taxi to take us to our hotel (not many Airbnbs to choose from in this little place - total population 70,000 - 8mill tourists p.a.). Then we went for a walk through the town, but it's Sunday and only tourists are around. The Tourist office was open, and we got some ideas for tomorrow. Then we walked up a big hill, went along a level patch, past some good vegie gardens, and down the same side again.

 The stairs and the view

A little visit to St Stephen's finished off our tour.
 

Back in our room we both went to sleep, so didn't go out to dinner until the locals do, which is after 20:00. So it's late when you get home.
