Turtle Trips - Photographed travel logs of magnificent placesPyrenees Mountains

From the cave we continued to the state of Andorra. Following the only major road in Andorra we reached it's capital, Andorra La Vella. Pyrenees mountains photo - Click to enlarge!The only reason to stop in this tiny country is the simple fact that they charge no sales tax on all purchases made there. So if you are interested in buying a small home appliance, a camera, or the latest electronic gadget this is definitely the place. You should take into account that the shops close at 7pm. The main shopping area is concentrated in the capital city, Andorra La Vella. The city is constructed mostly of one long shopping street which is usually jammed with cars and crowded with tourists. You can find there shops specializing in cosmetics, clothes, electronics, liqueurs, photo equipment, and gifts of course. The gift shops and clothes shops are expensive as in any other place and are not worth the bother. You should try and park your car on the city's edge and not enter the traffic jams in its center. We wouldn't recommend staying the night in the city since it seems overcrowded with tourists. Note that you may encounter a customs inspection when you leave Andorra's territory.
