La Comella: CG1 - PK 0+200 (Rotonda Josep Escaler) - 1.016 metres
Tucked into the narrow valley of the Gran Valira, Andorra la Vella is a place whose character is shaped by its steep Pyrenean setting. The capital of Andorra occupies the meeting point of the Valira del Nord and Valira d’Orient, which form the Gran Valira, and its urban fabric follows this constrained corridor. CG-1 is one of the principality’s principal roads, running south from the capital toward the Spanish border; Rotonda Josep Escaler belongs to this busy commercial approach. Above modern retail and office districts, the old quarter preserves Casa de la Vall, a stone house completed in 1580 that housed Andorra’s parliament from 1702 to 2011. Compact development and enclosing mountain slopes define the city.

The terrain of Andorra la Vella ranges from the floor of the Gran Valira valley in its centre to steep Pyrenean slopes around the parish, concentrating the capital’s streets and neighbourhoods in a narrow urban basin. As Andorra’s political and commercial centre, the city combines busy avenues with the stone lanes of the Barri Antic. Casa de la Vall, a late-16th-century house that served for centuries as the seat of the General Council, is among its most important historic buildings. The Gran Valira continues south towards the border with Spain, linking the city to the wider valley network.

Among the countries of the eastern Pyrenees, Andorra stands out for its high mountain valleys and Catalan character. Set between France and Spain, this landlocked state is crossed by the Valira river system, whose valleys concentrate its towns, roads and much of everyday life. Catalan is the official language, and the capital, Andorra la Vella, brings together government, commerce and mountain access. In the east, the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List as a cultural landscape shaped over centuries by pastoral use. Winter sports are central to the national calendar, while hiking and cycling take over when the snow recedes.
