Food and Drink
Cuisine is mainly Catalan, and generally expensive. Quality and prices in restaurants are similar to those in small French and Spanish resort towns.
Things to know: Alcoholic drinks bought in shops and supermarkets are cheap (Andorra is a duty-free zone), but prices in bars can be high. Bars stay open late. National specialities: • Coques (flavoured flat cakes). • Trinxat (a potato and cabbage dish). • Truites de carreroles (a type of mushroom omelette). • Local sausages and cheese. • Andorran veal. Tipping: Service charges are usually included in the bill. Porters and waiters expect a further 10%. Nightlife
Andorra’s characteristically safe streets help to create a thriving nightlife. Many bars and hotels provide a variety of evening entertainment. Clubs are open during both summer and winter.
Shopping
There is duty-free shopping for all goods. Petrol, alcohol, cameras and watches can be purchased at low prices. Electrical goods are excellent value.
Shopping hours: Mon-Sat 0930-1330 and 1600-2000, Sun 0930-1330 and 1600-1900. Department stores: Mon-Fri 0930-2000, Sat 0930-2100 and Sun 0930-1900. |
