Summer is a great time to get lost in the mountains of Andorra.. During this season, the country offers you the opportunity to learn about its natural wealth, which is not short. Today we suggest you to discover the Vall d’Incles and Juclar’s Lake, a fairly unknown area for our visitors and even among most residents of the country. The Vall d’Incles is a U-shaped valley -a fact which betrays its glacial origin- which has remained quite wild. Every spring after the snow melts, the colors explode in an exultant manner in the form of a multitude of mountain flowers of all colors. In fact, this is the same place where we can meet and observe closely one of the country’s most typical flowers: “Grandalla”. The Vall d’Incles is very easy to find and it is just five minutes drive from the hotel. After a kilometer following Soldeu – France direction, before crossing the bridge you will find in a curve, turn left heading towards Vall d’Incles and after a hundred meters you can park the car. You also have the option to leave the car at the campsite you will find at the entrance to the valley itself (a good alternative if you do this trip with family and / or children). By accessing the valley, we can see in the background the Alt de Juclà (2,541 m). In fact, a good way to explore the valley is doing the route that brings us to the Juclà Lake, the largest of Andorra, which is surrounded by two peaks: Siscaró and Escobes. The route begins along a forest track after crossing the Incles river (road surrounded by dry stone walls, black pine and alpenrose). From here, you should follow the directions you will fond along the way. To access to the Juclà Lake, there are 17 kilometers away with a height of 623 meters, hence the difficulty level is classified as easy.   Keep in mind that in summer the access by car to the Vall d’Incles remains restricted from 10:00 to 18:00 for environmental issues. However, there is a small bus that goes up and down until the end of the road for 3 € /person.

Andorra has been and continues to be the ideal destination to combine shopping with any activity related to nature. Andorra offers a wide range of shops with high quality products and competitive prices. Prices today continue to hold a significant differential with the same products that are in Catalonia, Spain and / or France for its low tax which stood at 4.5% from 1 January 2013.  The majority of shops are located on the main streets of Andorra la Vella (Avinguda Meritxell) and Escaldes-Engordany (Avinguda Carlemany). In fact, in the latter town you’ll discover a stretch of the main avenue where only pedestrians circulate. Vivand was conceived as space commerce, leisure and culture for pedestrians. In recent years, however, have also gained strength in the areas adjoining the central shopping areas, such as the historical center of Andorra la Vella and Prada Ramon, an area where there is a large offer of clothing and accessories, perfumes and cafes and restaurants regain strength between shopping and buying. In addition, note that the area of ​​Prada Ramon also has three municipal parking. Pas de la Casa is one of the places where the practice of shopping is quite common. One of the best options if you are staying in hotels located closer to the border with France. Department stores, perfume, fashion, ski equipment, jewelery and a long list of options is what you will find in Pas de la Casa. One of the things to know when buying is that Andorra does not belong to the European Union. That’s why there are certain limitations with respect to products and sums can go through customs back to the country (customs exemptions) (http://www.duana.ad/franquicies). Just for example, in industrial products, such as computers, televisions… you can not exceed 900 euros per adult.

The Principality of Andorra is not only shopping and snow in winter. During the summer, Andorra offers a wide range of activities to enjoy the nature in the country. Our immediate environment belongs to the parish of Canillo, an area that gives you different options to enjoy your holidyas. One of the activities that can be done is an easy trekking to the Toll Bullidor. A walk of about 30 minutes  views of Meritxell, Les Molleres and Valira River. The reward for all the effort is to observe, from a platform, the jumping waters at the Toll Bullidor. You can continue the day in the Family Park in Canillo. A multi-activity space where adults and children will have the opportunity to prove their habilities. Kayak tours on Lake El Forn, horseback riding, mountain outings with sled pulled by dogs and ubbing wheels are some of the activities proposed in the Family Park in Canillo if  you spend your summer with your family in Andorra. And after a day of activities, it’s time to rest. And what can be better than being in one of our family rooms, rooms that are like a small apartment with 2 double bedrooms, 1 single bedroom and a bathroom.
