Andorran getaway
« on: June 08, 2015, 16:25:46 »
We decided before past VCIM, to take some days in Andorra after this meeting to try to breathe a little bit ... ::)

So last week adding some oil, changing rear brake pads and ... on the road again !  ;D

Leaving home, direction Béziers and Narbonne, then Corbières area :



Strange water color  :o



Nice small roads




No it is not Toscana !!





Yes , Garmin allow to take narrow roads also  ;D

Near the Cathar town



Storm is not far (as usual in the Pyrenees...)



Last time we stopped here was with a Latvian black Vara ... (and 2 blues lovers  ;) )

Andorra is a nice commercial town in a deep valley; we had nice view from the hotel



and from the roof terrasse with a bar





Not too much people in the hotel swimming pool ...

Nice landscape



And twisty road

Some more ... Small villages in deep valley



Nice & "authentic"



We leave then to enter in Catalonia



It becomes quickly more "mediterranean "



and dry (and hot :D )





Keeping north direction again , nice deep gorges (no not tarn Gorges  ;D )







the mountains close



We are now in







Pay attention to the signs, we met a doe, without harm to her and for us ...  :o  8)



Serious things begin , we are approaching Port de la Bonaigua http://www.vci-forum.com/index.php?topic=677.msg12296#msg12296





As usual in the Pyrenees , a lot of horses alone in the mountain





The other side is also nice and stunning



Nice vue from the hotel



Time to begin our return home









Going east we find again dry landscapes





A night in Roses where they stole our Norwegian elan (NALE) :'( ; Time to drink a coffee on a Cadaquès terrasse  ;)



And we are back in France - Banyuls wine trees ...



And Picnic place in Collioure




Sorry most of the pictures have been done riding  ...  ::)
