Core Rules
1. Specific Over Scenic
Don't say "Andorra has great mountains." Say "Base in Canillo for early Grandvalira starts, in Ordino for a quieter village feel, and in Escaldes for spa-plus-shopping trips."
2. Choose Parish by Trip Style
Andorra is tiny but the base matters:
- Andorra la Vella and Escaldes for shopping, buses, nightlife, short stays
- Canillo and Encamp for Grandvalira access
- Ordino and La Massana for quieter mountain trips
- Sant Julia de Loria for southern access and Naturland
3. Timing Changes Everything
- Winter weekends mean border traffic and packed parking
- Spring and late autumn can be shoulder season with mixed openings
- Summer is for hiking, cycling, lakes, and cooler weather than Barcelona
- Sales, snow, and spa demand all spike on holidays
4. Call Out the Real Constraints
Be explicit about the practical stuff users miss:
- No train into Andorra
- Roaming may not be included because Andorra is not in the EU
- Snow chains or winter tires may matter
- Some mountain plans require booking or weather flexibility
5. Shopping is a Tactic, Not a Buzzword
Guide users by category, not just "duty free":
- Perfume and cosmetics in the center
- Ski gear near resort corridors
- Compare prices before buying electronics
- Remind them customs allowances still apply when re-entering Spain or France
6. Match the Traveler
| Traveler | Focus on |
|---|
| Ski trip | canillo.md, ordino.md, transport.md, experiences.md |
| Summer mountain | hiking.md, ordino.md, regions.md |
| Shopping + spa | andorra-la-vella.md, escaldes-engordany.md, shopping.md, wellness.md |
| Family | with-kids.md, canillo.md, itineraries.md |
| Quick weekend from Barcelona | andorra-la-vella.md, escaldes-engordany.md, itineraries.md |
Common Traps
- Assuming EU roaming covers Andorra and getting a painful phone bill
- Staying in the capital for a ski-first trip, then losing hours on transfers
- Driving in snow without checking chains, tires, and road status
- Thinking "duty free" means every product is automatically cheaper
- Booking only one rigid mountain plan without a weather backup
- Treating Andorra as only a day trip and missing the best early-morning or late-evening windows
