Wednesday
Tour of Andorra la Vella’s Shopping Area and Heritage
This fantastic experience starts off with a taste of all the hustle and bustle of the Andorran capital’s shops. Then, we will head into the historic centre to explore cobbled squares and streets that will transport us to another era, as we delve into the local history and architecture. We will finish off at the Bici Lab.
The Secret Frescoes of Santa Coloma
It’s time for the guided tour, and the tourists and curious locals can’t wait to set off to explore all the most special sites in the area: Espai Columba, Santa Coloma Church, the cobbled streets... But an intrepid archaeologist, Pierre, has other ideas: he wants the group to help him discover where some (allegedly lost) frescoes from the church have been stashed away. A regular on these guided tours and a local resident will help Pierre find other hidden treasures in Santa Coloma. (Dramatized tour).

Saturday
Route around the Enclar Valley

The Ladies of the Historic Centre
Three residents of the historic centre go out for an aperitif together, like they used to do in the ’70s. On their way, they encounter a group of tourists and decide to accompany them on a tour of the historic centre of Andorra la Vella. On the walk, they tell the visitors stories and anecdotes about their experiences in the area. With plenty of humour, of course. (Dramatized tour, in catalan).
Anton Fiter i Rossell expects a visit
Dr Anton Fiter i Rossell, the Bishop of Urgell’s representative and author of the famous Manual Digest (an eighteenth-century book on Andorran history and customs), is anxiously awaiting a visit from an old classmate from the University of Huesca. He wants to show him around the country, but Dr Picatoste, his old friend, is no longer the pleasant young man he once shared a classroom with. Dramatized tour of the historic centre (in Spanish).
