Tips, Trips, and Stories From Our Worldly Travels

Andorra la Vella: The Capital of Andorra

We reached Andorra la Vella towards the end of September, after travelling through the French Pyrenees and crossing into Andorra. The change was immediately noticeable. After travelling through smaller mountain towns and villages, we found ourselves in a much more...

Grau Roig: A Night in the High Pyrenees

Grau Roig was one of our stops in Andorra, and it felt completely different from the busier areas around Pas de la Casa. We arrived rather late at the free motorhome parking area on the Ctra de Grau Roig, but even at that time we had no difficulty finding a place for...

After Mont-de-Marsan we continued towards the foothills of the Pyrenees and reached Crouseilles, a tiny village surrounded almost completely by vineyards. Here we stopped with the motorhome at the small municipal area below the Château de Crouseilles. It was one of...
