Ordino: La Cortinada
Tucked into a Pyrenean valley, La Cortinada is a place whose character is shaped by the Valira del Nord and the steep, wooded slopes of Ordino parish. This small Andorran settlement follows the valley floor, where homes, meadows and local roads occupy the narrow ground between the mountains. Its best-known historic building is the Romanesque church of Sant Martí de la Cortinada, a medieval parish church later enlarged during the Baroque period. La Cortinada belongs to the Ordino valley, which extends north toward the mountain country around Arcalís and retains a strong rural architectural character. Its compact scale and close relationship with the surrounding slopes set it apart from the urban fabric of Andorra la Vella.

The settlement is the administrative heart of the parish of Ordino, whose high mountain territory reaches towards the French border and includes the Ordino Arcalís ski area. The Museu Casa d’Areny-Plandolit occupies a former family residence and documents the domestic life of one of Andorra’s influential households. Narrow streets, slate roofs and woodland slopes give Ordino a more intimate scale than Andorra la Vella, while mountain roads lead to small settlements farther up the valley.
