We went to Andorra from Barcelona for a day to walk, as they say - "check in". Scheduled buses run directly from Barcelona Central Station to Andorra la Vella. We bought tickets right there and back, waited a bit for our bus, because while we were changing money, we missed the morning bus, and hit the road.
We drove through very picturesque places - along the Valira River, past the dam, around the mountains and beauty!
We arrived at about three o'clock in the afternoon, but we had enough time until eight in the evening to have time to go around the whole town.
The Gran Valira River flows throughout the Principality of Andorra from north to south. The water in the mountain river is very fast and frisky.
Here in the city, of course, the river is “pacified” by concrete banks and houses built right on the edge of the banks. I wondered if the water was overflowing, because in spring a lot of snow melts? Perhaps this is what dams are for, to keep the river from overflowing.
Walking around the city, you can find various bridges and footbridges that you can use to cross the river. And each time, meeting with a raging river, it is impossible to pass indifferently. Water is simply mesmerizing - at the same time it is scary, and you feel a huge energy from it.
I hope the photos convey this power and beauty.
