Andorra is a beautiful place and is accompanied by many towns around it that are incredible, they seem like fairytale places! One of the most beautiful villages in Andorra is probably Pal, it has a small and beautiful urban area with typical Andorran houses where stone, slate and wood are the protagonists.

6. Bordas restaurants in Andorra

They are restaurants of traditional Andorran cuisine. A long time ago they were used to keep horses and sheep. On the ground floor was the stable; up, the tools, the hay, the grain were stored. They are in the outskirts of the towns. Today many of them became restaurants that preserve much of their decoration and serve local cuisine, these are places that you cannot miss! Some of the typical dishes are cannelloni with roast beef, onion soup au gratin or sauteed mushrooms with foie.
