The selected places were really worth visiting, nice selection done here, I need to say. It is a lot of driving, but each km is worth it. The times spent per place to stay could be longer, just Andorra La Vila was totally suficient for me (as there is not too much to see). Thanks.
Relax during a scenic journey to Bagà from Barcelona and marvel at the majestic perimeter of rocky peaks in the Cadi-Moixeró National Park.
As this sleepy village comes to life, you can get a fresh pastry or sandwich in the local bakery, and a coffee in one of the many typical cafes, before rejoining your guide who will give you a short walking tour of the village before leaving you some free time to explore alone.
From Bagà, you will head deeper into the countryside towards the French border, stopping at the charming and beautiful ancient spa town of Ax-Les-Thermes. Your guide will recommend some of the best natural fountains to visit and those best suitable for soaking your feet in.
You'll have free time to enjoy the healing waters or browse the local artisan shops where you can buy local cheeses and cured meats.
Meet back at the bus to head towards Andorra traveling through the Pyrenees Alps to Andorra la Vella, the capital of the small but stunning country of Andorra. On the way, we will also cross the Pas de la Casa, an amazing high mountain pass with some stunning photo opportunities.
As you descend into Andorra you will stop off at a typical mountain valley where you will get a glimpse of how Andorra used to be. Here you can take the opportunity to catch some fresh air on a brief hike, then head down the valleys into Andorra de la Vella.
On your drive back to Barcelona admire the views on a different route crossing through dramatic gorges, past verdant farming land, and alongside lakes and rivers. You will stop en route for a chance to stretch your legs and quench your thirst, before arriving back in town at about 7.30pm.
There is no denying that this tour takes in a lot of driving, but every mile brings a new view, every turn a different perspective. And where else in the world can you visit three countries in just one day.
