Gourmet
Shopping can also be savoured in Andorra
Andorra is a destination that delights the most discerning palates with its unique gastronomic scene, but also with its wide variety of high-quality gourmet products. Thus, the pleasure of shopping and sampling is undoubtedly one of the shopping experiences that we recommend you enjoy in the Principality.
Gourmets and foodies will enjoy strolling the streets of The Shopping Mile, where they can find the most exclusive culinary spaces and gourmet boutiques of the moment. High-quality products made into bite-sized snacks to be eaten on the spot or to take away.
Exploring exclusive culinary treasures
The most exclusive specialities and high-quality products can be found in shopping centres and establishments that have a long tradition. These are gourmet boutiques that have been able to cultivate their own passion and transmit it through their delicatessen products. From the most difficult to find varieties of wines and whiskies, which you can find in establishments that form part of Andorra Selected, to fine chocolates and retail confectionery to places where you can find nuts, spices and exclusive preserves from every continent.
Exploring the streets of Vivand and Av. Meritxell, but also the Historic Centre of Andorra la Vella, you will embark on a gastronomic adventure in small, charming gourmet spaces. In the case of the Andorra la Vella Historic Centre, you can visit
its website by following this link for more details of the establishments. And in the restaurant-shop concept you can sample the most exclusive delicacies and appreciate fine wines, but also the best local and seasonal products. Naturally, you can take these home or wherever you prefer.
Local products to fall in love with
Andorra's rich culinary tradition is reflected in its local products, which are carefully cultivated and prepared. Among the most outstanding gastronomic treasures are the high-altitude wines of the 5 wineries that feature their internationally-recognised products. There are also mountain cheeses and sausages, such as Bull de donja produced by local artisans with the best quality meat, which is a product that has one of Andorra's certificates of origin.
With more than 90% of its territory covered by forest, Andorra is a natural paradise where artisans find the seasonal fruits with which to make one of the most highly-prized jams in the area. The lush alpine flora preserves the traditional sector of high-altitude beekeeping and the production of mountain honey in different varieties.
Make the most of your visit to the country to not only taste our local products in the country's restaurants, but also to buy some of them and take a little piece of Andorra home with you.

Like the Michelin-starred Ibaya restaurant, which is undoubtedly the benchmark for haute high-mountain cuisine in the Principality.
Events with the scent of mountains
Andorra's gastronomic and culinary tradition is so intensely alive in Andorra that it is reflected in its calendar of events.
