Andorra has more mountainous S-bends per km of road than anywhere in the world, I am sure, and we traversed most of them today!

Set off slowly, after a sleep in until 8 am, and travelled west across the Pyrenees . Beautiful villages and mountainous country.

Then crossed into Andorra. Tiny entirely mountainous country between France and Spain, about 50x 60 km, speaking mainly Spanish. We set off up hill and down, S-bends everywhere but fabulous views. Lunch at a very windy viewpoint, where the temperature had dropped from 30 to 18 very quickly. Wild horses and domestic cattle grazing together, then goats on the way down.

After lunch, ignored a "less than 3.5 tonne" sign and climbed to 2420 metres before meeting a sign that said "less than 2.5 metres tall". We were defeated and turned back.

Then drove through the capital, Andorra La Vella. An amazing sensation - a large city crowded in on all sides by steep mountain sides, in an alpine gorge less than a kilometre wide. No hope of stopping and parking ( we had been forewarned by friend Miles) so we drove through.
Then we decided to head for the hills and look for camp spot . We drove up and up, through
"suburbia", and very well off suburbia at that; countless hairpins, and ended at a leisure park on a mountaintop - tube slides, bouncing castles, MTB, horses, and more; crowds and not much hope of a camp. Coffee and down again.

In the suburb of Andorra La Vella, called St Julia De Loria, luckily spotted the same free campsite behind a supermarket that Miles and Marina had camped in, in April. Roaring river next to us, that once again will drown out local traffic.

We decide that Andorrans have no level ground to build on, so level out a platform and build on it, on the edge of rivers, cliffs and anywhere else. Hundreds of new ski condos everywhere, as winter sports is one of their big dollar earners. If we had been driving a smaller vehicle, we could have looked at old fortresses and a 16th century church, but no hope of parking anywhere except way out of the settlements. Next time!
