Travel onwards to our hotel in Andorra la Vella.

Day 3 – Scenic Andorra

We explore Andorra’s scenic side, which is the perfect chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of La Seu d'Urgell's historic cathedral and Old Town before we discover Puigcerdà's pretty streets, dotted with lovely shops and cafés. Afterwards we head to the charming Andorran village of Soldeu before arriving at Engolasters for a photo stop in this tranquil lakeside setting.

Day 4 – Day at leisure

Andorra la Vella is both the capital and sole town of this principality, with many historical buildings to see, the Casa de la Vall has served as a parliament building since 1702. Why not visit the church of Santa Coloma with its decorative architectural style or the Placa del Poble, the ‘People’s Square’, a popular place to meet on an evening?

Day 5 – Scenic Pyrenees

Our scenic tour through the Pyrenees is the ideal way to experience the very best highlights this remote mountain range has to offer. Weaving its way along the border between France and Spain, this peaky patchwork is unforgettable. From the Sanctuary of Meritxell Basilica (one of the must-see religious temples in Andorra) to the pretty village of Os de Civis, there is so much to uncover.

Day 6 – Montserrat

We head to Montserrat, which means ‘serrated mountain’. This rocky range offers magnificent views of some of the most unusual geological formations in the whole of Catalonia. Nestled between the peaks is the well-known site of the Benedictine Abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary, has links to the Holy Grail and is the centre of the Catalan faith.

It contains the Black Virgin of Montserrat, an incredible feat of 12^th-century carving, and is home to over 80 monks.

Day 7 – Rocamadour

We check out of our hotel and arrive in Rocamadour in the mid-afternoon. This enchanting medieval village perched on a cliff will awe you with its picturesque charm. See the ancient pilgrimage site, visit the breathtaking Chapelle Notre-Dame and meander through cobblestone streets. There is time to enjoy an early dinner (not included) before we continue to our overnight hotel in Limoges.
