This day trip from Barcelona takes you across three countries in one day: Spain, France and Andorra. After exploring the medieval Catalan village of Bagà, pass through French border villages and cross the Port d'Envalira at 2,408 m, the highest paved road in the Pyrenees, into Andorra. Get an Andorra passport stamp at the border and enjoy free time in the capital, Andorra la Vella. The tour is run in English only, so you won't miss any of the guide's commentary.
With an English-speaking guide, travel in an air-conditioned vehicle through Spain, France and Andorra over about 12 hours. Along the way, your guide shares the history and stories of each region.
Leave Barcelona early in the morning and arrive in Bagà, a medieval Catalan village surrounded by the rocky peaks of the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. After seeing the main square and medieval church, continue through the Cadí Tunnel and cross the border into France.
The first stop in France is Carrefour Market Ur, a mountain supermarket with a bear at the entrance and a ski gondola hanging from the ceiling. Your guide points out the best products, and you have 20–25 minutes to browse and buy French wine, cheese and pâté. Next, stop at Latour-de-Carol, a border village in Northern Catalonia, the part of Catalonia that became French centuries ago, and hear about the region's history.
Instead of the tunnel, take the mountain road over the Port d'Envalira (2,408 m), also a Tour de France climb, and descend into Andorra. After getting your Andorra passport stamp at the border checkpoint, head to the capital, Andorra la Vella, for free time to shop duty-free, have lunch at a local restaurant or take in the mountain scenery.
Entering from France and leaving into Spain, you cross Andorra from border to border, then return to Barcelona while enjoying the Pyrenees scenery. On the way back, take a short break at a local café; the tour ends at the Arc de Triomf in Barcelona.
