Barcelona, Spain to Vella, Andorra

 Barcelona, Spain to La Vella, Andorra   Sat, April 4, 2026

We picked up our rental car at the Barcelona Airport and set the Waze for Andorra.
 OH My Gosh! We are passing 
Montserrat.
 


Larry and I took a train up to this exquisite part of Catalonia and visited a Monastery and Cathedral back in 2010. It was a spectacular day and a fond memory that we cherish!


 
        

      We passed by fields of canola blooms.
Brilliant in the sunlight 
This made us wonder how they get canola oil from this gorgeous plant.

In simple terms, they capture the seeds and squeeze the oil from them.



 We stopped to have lunch at this refurbished castle village. It was a quaint area.
The entrance  street was lined  by old trees.






We enjoyed walking around this village.












We passed by ancient castle villages built on top of tall hills while driving.
Some looked abandoned while others were being refurbished.



Suddenly, The snow capped mountains began to appear.

 Rock formations appeared on the horizon.


Segre River Dam




My handsome chauffeur 



The scenery was exquisite!
 We passed through numerous tunnels!







Old ruins above newly constructed buildings.




Passing through Andorra customs was a breeze...
however, there was quite a backup going back into Spain.


We arrived in Andorra la Vella around 6:00.

We were excited to arrive in Andorra la Villa staying at Hotel Starc in the city center. The big surprise....putting our car on an elevator and parking it in a tiny spot underground. 
It reminded us of Tom Cruise's elevator for his car in Clearwater....his goes to the top of the building...the penthouse.
