Andorra's Iron Trail
The Iron Trail is a
tour of the culture and environment of the Valls del Nord's iron-working
heritage. The trail aims to give the general public a better understanding of
one of the most important economic activities that shaped Andorra from the
early 17th century until the end of the 19th century - the mines, coal pits, and
iron and steel working industry.
For further information ask at the Front desk.
The Romanesque Trail
The Romanesque Trail
through the Valls del Nord is extremely interesting and surprising: You can go
back in time and discover an authentic Romanesque world in the small churches
and villages, which still look the same today as they did many years ago. To enjoy the best Romanesque
churches in the area we recommend a route that leaves from Escaldes - Engordany
and heads towards La Massana, passing over a medieval bridge and the church of
Sant Antonia de la Grella.
