Travelling to Andorra without a car

Post by joffan »

My 15 year old son wants to visit his girlfriend for a few days in Andorra this week (we live in Prades). Does anyone know how he could get there?

He does occasionally hitch but Andorra is a long way. He can usually get within 13km of Andorra by train but as there is a train strike on he can only get within 30km (Latour de Carol) which is too far.

Is there a regular bus from Latour de Carol? We can't find any info on the web (probably looking in the wrong place).

How about Frogbus to Girona airport, and then bus from there to Andorra?

The only buses from Le Tour de Carol go in the wrong direction, Julie!

This is a pretty good website which I use, but it doesn't seem very helpful, either!

Just found this

Not at all helpful for you, but quite interesting nonetheless!

He can get from L'Hospitalet on bus

Can't find how to get from Le Tour to L'Hospitalet though.

Thanks for the help everyone, it seems to be more difficult than we first thought. Travelling all day and and costly.

If anyone is planning a trip up this weekend he is willing to contribute to costs.
