les Bons: CG2 - PK 5+880 (Encamp Nord) - 1.330 metres
Les Bons sits above the Valira d’Orient valley in the parish of Encamp, Andorra, where steep Pyrenean slopes press closely around settled ground. This small hamlet forms part of Encamp’s urban area, beside the route through the valley between Andorra la Vella and the French border. Its defining heritage site is the medieval complex of Les Bons, including the Romanesque church of Sant Romà de les Bons, which dates from the 12th century, and a defensive tower. The terrain explains Andorra’s compact pattern of roads and building: development follows narrow valley floors and climbs the slopes, while forest and exposed rock cover much of the higher ground. Les Bons is a useful reference point for understanding Encamp’s blend of historic settlement and modern mountain transport.

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.
