Andorra or Andorre

By Owen | Jan 31, 2008

This weekend we will go to Andorre. I’ve heard conflicting stories about it. As you may know it is tax free. People say that because of this it has a cheap touristy quality to it. We have heard that you can buy things very cheaply there though. I guess we don’t expect too much from [...]
