Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley

Reviewed By md1mm - Sheffield, United Kingdom

This a great walking trail which is also a UNESCO world heritage site. I am not sure why this is specifically the case because we had other superb walks in different parts of Andorra. The start point is close to Andorra la Vella. The first couple of hours are uphill but it is all in the shade. There is a mountain hut in a picturesque vista where you can have your lunch.

Esglesia de Sant Miquel d'Engolasters

Open from 15 July to 15 September. This church, Romanesque in origin, was built sometime before the 12thcentury. The rectangular layout has a nave, a semi-circular apse, a gable roof, a belfry and a later porch. The building is peculiar for the disproportion between the nave and the 17-metre high belfry. The top level of the belfry preserves one of the few examples of Romanesque sculpture in Andorra: heads carved in the centre of the double window arches.On show inside are reproductions of Romanesque mural paintings bythe master artist of Santa Coloma from the 12th century. The apse isdominated by a Christ Pantocrator surrounded by the tetramorph wherethe Archangel Michael, the church's patron saint, merges with the symbol of Saint Matthew. The original paintings are now held by the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC).

No two churches in Andorra are alike. The bell tower and the porch of Sant Miquel give it distinctive touches that set it apart.

Illa is a good shopping centre, has a good range of shops with a large selection of items. There are some good cafes & they all serve alcohol. Good if you need basic groceries or for gift shopping. I use Benetton for all of my kids clothes, they are cute & well priced. During holidays, they make an effort with their decorations & they are always lovely. This year, they hosted the junior Andorran choir, made it feel very much like Christmas.
