 Pal Andorra
Pal is a picturesque quiet mountain village just over from its more illustrious neighbour Arinsal. By road the journey is about 5km. Do have a look at Arinsal to learn more about the resort. Ample car parking makes it a popular choice for locals at weekends but lift lines are not much of a problem. |
