We spent a couple of days in Andorra on our recent trip south. The independent principality is landlocked and very mountainous. Our apartment was at 1750 metres above sea level and the peaks all over 2000 metres. It is a well known tax haven and ski destination, so in the summer nice apartments are remarkably affordable.
A lovely drift of Heath Spotted Orchids Dactylorhiza maculata, at about 2000 metres.
We did a bit of sightseeing and took a cable car up to one of the ski stations. There was a little stream running down from the peak, and a lovely selection of alpine wild flowers nearby, so for very little effort I was delighted.
Typical Andorran scenery.
