Andorra Direct

Pete’s Saturday message
🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨

Cracking day skiing day yesterday under clear skies. I don't think that will be repeated today though with cloud already building and the forecast still saying rain this afternoon. I'm up and off early to make the most of the morning and will probably catch the rugby this afternoon.

Something for the weekend sir? Well I have it. A new digital catalog in the National Archives of Andorra includes 60 images of the first tourist sites in the principality of the 1950's. This decade is considered to be the beginning of the prosperity and progress in Andorra, which was due to the rapid post war positive changes in the economies of neighboring Spain and France. At that time Andorra began to attract visitors from the neighbouring countries, who preferred to buy products here because of a significant difference in prices.

Well worth downloading I've skimmed through them but will spend some hours no doubt trying to identify the various locations - any help would be appreciated.

No Blog tomorrow so you'll have to wait till Monday to see what the weather brought to us this weekend - the forecast is looking good for next week, a bit colder maybe but mainly sunny. No snow on the horizon though which is a shame.

Enjoy the weekend my friends.

Slope conditions for the weekend

LATEST UPDATE:
Friday, 15 December, 6pm. 14/12/2017
Grandvalira expects to open 107 skiing kilometers for this weekend. All sectors will be operational, although due to technical problems Soldeu-Grau Roig connection by slopes cannot be guaranteed, as it was planned. Technical departments continue working in order to have connection ready as soon as possible.

Therefore, Grandvalira is offering a shuttle bus free service to connect sectors by road. To access to this service it is necessary to provide a valid Grandvalira ski pass (daily, multiday or season pass).
⛷️
Shuttle bus service is provided by Andbus, and it will be reinforced by two buses operating from Encamp (starting point) from 8:30h and 9:00h until 17:00h. The bus will be properly identified and will run continuously.
