Can anyone who's been (Bear, perhaps, if someone nudges him) give me
an idea where to park near the shops and how much it is likely to
cost, please?

Cheers,

Ffs, you ride all the way down through France on a fuel guzzler like
yours and then question how much to pay for parking in Andorra.

The mind boggles, really, it does.

I'll be flying to Perpignan and picking up a hire car... far cheaper.

BTW, my RT uses less fuel than the B12 did.

You've sold the B12?

When did this happen?

I've been there.  It was nearly 20 years ago, and I didn't have to pay
for parking cos I was on a bike.

I was there in '02.  I parked outside the shops.  Free :)

I don't remember cars paying either, though, but I might just have been
being particularly unobservant.

If you mean the main drag, there's a signposted underground car park
under the bus station, about halfway down, on the right.

Not a clue what it cost to park there though, coz I'm not a penny-
pinching pikey plonker.

All in all though I wouldn't bother going, unless it's for cigars, and
even then you'd need to buy quite a few to make it worthwhile, given the
fuel to get there, and the border crossing tend to check a *lot* of cars
out; make sure you know the allowances.

Oh, and they do a 1 or 2 til 4 or 5 siesta, the lazy dago bastards.

I detested the place, but then I think anyone in their right mind would.

It's fine for skiing, but that involves the slopes, somewhere to sleep
and a few bars so I can't comment on it otherwise.

"Blackpool on Nige", according to babelfish.

So - cheap, but ultimately crap.

Heh.

>So - cheap, but ultimately crap.

*Ding*

As a ski area it's actually pretty damned good and is now linked
properly with Soldeu so provides a huge area of skiing. But I'd never
choose to stay in PdlC.

Quite.  Made all the more striking that the environment around the
town (i.e. the Pyrenees) is stunning.

On a bike?  Free.  In the middle of town.  Bloody cold in late
September (snow on the ground) and a 5 hour ride back to our hotel at
La Franc, near Gerona, but great fun.

Free at Pas de la Casa, but full when I was last there 15 years ago.
Parking in laybys on the road out as well if you don't mind a bit of a
walk. Allow time for mega traffic jams.
