Andorra la Vella; Sunday, 21 June, 2015

Having checked out and left my bags with the hotel I went out for a wander around town by the river.

Given there wasn’t actually that much to see I decided to head up onto the other Anella Verda path – referred to as the shady one – to have a walk along that and take in the city. This turned out to be a good choice as the wooded area it winds its way through made for a pleasant space to be with the temperatures starting to get quite high.

I walked the path to its end at the edge of Andorra La Vella and then walked back across town and back down by the side of the river into the centre.

Stopping off at a café on a platform over the river I had a relaxing lunch before having a final detour up into the old town to while away my last hour or so in Andorra.

Then it was time to head back to the hotel, pick up my bags and make my way back to the coach station and the long journey back south to Barcelona.

The journey was no longer than the outbound trip, but with the coaches air-conditioning system on the blink and the temperatures outside well into the 30s it felt a lot longer, and stickier, than the inbound trip.

Back in the blissfully air-conditioned buildings of Barcelona Airport I did a quick t-shirt change into something less saturated and then checked in for my flight.
