We spent a couple of days last week in Andorra, a tiny principality between France and Spain, in the Pyrenees. Being a tax free country, the main city (well, more of a town really) is a maze of duty free shops - perfumeries and electronic 'toy' shops everywhere. It was beautifully decorated with Xmas lights and had a real buzz to it, despite the cold. Interestingly, the main language there appeared to be Catalan, and there was a more Spanish influence than French.
The landscape up through the mountains was stunning - long climbs on good, but narrow roads. Our only hold-up was when a large lorry in front of us got jammed up against a house on a narrow corner - evidenced on the way down by large gouges and scratches on the house wall!
Needless to say, many photos eventuated - particularly as I bought myself a new camera.
See my Picasa page for some of them.
