Andora, Cardona, Mozerrat and Moya - North of Spain

Andorra the smallest independent country.

The city lies between 2 mountains, stretched out in the valley.

Andora beautiful in the valley

Andora hotel look at the narrow street

Narrow Streets and no parking. We checked in to a hotel, unload our luggage parked our car and walked 1 km to the hotel. Needles to say we walked the 2 days we were there.

We haven’t seen so many electronic shops in so many streets, at a 30% of the normal price. Hans and Stephanus were enjoying the beer at the same price as water. What is the question?

Look at the choice of beer, now what's the problem

Cardona Castles is our next stop.

Cardona Castle look at the view on the Village

Built in the 14 century, just amazing, the view down to the village is stunning. They could protected themselves, with a view 360 degrees.

Monzerrat, how do you describe this?! We stopped at the foot of the mountain. Park the car and buy tickets to go with the train.

Monzerrat in the mountain

I was checking where this Monastery is. Bending my head right back I realised what we are going to experience. 



The best I can describe it is I thought the train will fall right back, but it didn’t.

Never in my life have I seen such a beautiful church. So many Christians, all lighting a candle to devote their life to God.
 

Beautiful stained window

The coloured glass windows, hundreds of them, you can’t think it was done by people.

We were so lucky, just as we came there they had a choir singing; the sound drove people to tears.

All the chandeliers.

There must be a thousand of different lamps in Monzerrat. We didnt know which one to choose

We left feeling the presence of God, knowing he is looking after us.

Have you ever seen a Pulpit luck this of a church

Setting our GPS for the North coast of Spain, it took us through lovely little towns. I will always remember the high mountains and the little villages right on top. 

One of the many village high up in the mountains on our to North of Spain

Castles looking from the height. All for their own protection.

We reach Moya, a village with Narrow Streets like the rest of Spain.

We will remember this as the HANS'S chicken Restuarant

Booked into a hotel, next walk was finding a place for supper. We found one at 7pm. Just to find out it will only open at 9pm. Hans was desperate to have chicken. His Spanish was not good enough to explain; He started flapping his arms like wings and croaking like a cock. The girl serving us nearly killed herself with laughter. Hans ended up with a half loaf of bread cut length wise, packed with bacon and an egg on top. We had such fun with him.

Cambrils where we struggled to get a hotel

He never tried to explain what he wants to eat in Spain again.
