Europe on a shoestring - Spain & Andorra (Chapter)

This is the Spain & Andorra chapter from Lonely Planet's Europe on a Shoestring guidebook.

Passionate, sophisticated and devoted to living the good life, Spain is at once a stereotype come to life and a country more diverse than you ever imagined. Some say Andorra’s nothing but skiing and shopping. They’re right to a point, but if you can shake yourself free of Andorra la Vella’s tawdry embrace and take a drive or hike, you'll very soon be amid dramatic mountain scenery.
