We drove for about 7 hours from Mar Menor up to Tarragona, a small town on the coast south of Barcelona. We had been there once before on a trip to Spain in July 2005. Everything was fairly dead because it was the off season for tourists and alot of camping places were closed.
So we made the call (checked the GPS) and headed for Andorra. It took a couple of hours to get there winding along the steep walls of a river, through tunnels and finally the border. They didn't seem particularly interested in us, but people coming out of Andorra were being thoroughly searched for cheap duty free!!
We got a camp site in Andorra La Vella (the capital of Andorra). It was the coldest weather we had felt in quite a while! We stayed for a couple of nights and did some driving around. Being in the Wagen I felt invincible and drove straight up a ski field (no snow) past all the ski lifts! (It seemed ok and there was a track there?!!). Melinda on the other hand was not so hot on the idea and I think there are some permanent fingernail marks in the 'Jesus bar' and on the dashboard!
Its a beautiful country with loads of duty free shops, but if you get out of Andorra la Vella its really beautiful. After a couple of nights there, we thought we better get moving so that we could see the French Riviera and Monaco! (Although I could have stayed there for a lot longer!)
