les Escaldes

Les Escaldes occupies the floor of the Valira d’Orient valley in central Andorra, forming the urban core of Escaldes-Engordany beside Andorra la Vella. The town has long been associated with thermal water: its name refers to the hot springs that once supported washing and wool-working. Caldea, the large thermal spa complex, makes that tradition a visible part of the modern skyline. Above the built-up valley, the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley extends through the parish; its high-mountain cultural landscape is listed by UNESCO. The Romanesque church of Sant Miquel d’Engolasters and nearby Lake Engolasters provide a quieter counterpoint to the commercial streets below.
