Depart from a central Barcelona, and relax during a scenic journey toward Baga in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. Marvel at the majestic perimeter of rocky peaks in the Cadi-Moixero National Park as you arrive in Baga. Tour the village and it's medieval church and square, before enjoying you some free time to explore alone.  

Traverse the French border on route to your next stop, the charming ancient spa town of Ax-Les-Thermes. After your guide recommends some of the best natural fountains to visit and soak your feet in, indulge in some free time to enjoy the healing waters and browse the local artisan shops.

Next, meet back at the bus to head toward Andorra. Travel through the beautiful Pyrenees Alps and cross the Pas de la Casa, a high-mountain pass with multiple photo opportunities.

Descend into Andorra, stopping at a typical mountain valley where you get a glimpse of stone huts dotting the mountainside, a Roman church, and embark on a short hike to experience the landscape.  

From here, continue on to Andorra de la Vella, Andorra's charming capital. Explore the city and indulge in some duty-free shopping before climbing aboard the minivan for the return trip to Barcelona.

Your tour concludes with drop-off back at the departure point.

Sergio was out guide. He was amazing with knowledge along the entire route. He was funny and very personable. The views on the drive were beautiful. The towns we made stops in were the perfect idea of a romantic European town. It was great to see the Pyrenees mountains, have lunch in France and shop in Andorra.

This was a fun FULL-DAY trip. Rod was out guide and he was super passionate and knowledgeable about the areas. He was fun!! My group was perfect and excited to explore the area too. My personal preference would be to spend more time in Ax les Thermes because I am not a shopper but overall the day was wonderful. It is just so beautiful
