So what did I know about Andorra before we decided to turn right from Barcelona and hit this insignificant ink spot between Spain and France. Well they are rubbish at football and that's it! What else do you need to know? However as an omen of worse things to come they played England in 2008, the first qualifying game of this years World Cup and here's what one commentator had to say during the game...
25 min: This is a thundering non-event, another extremely flat performance by England. Who, for all their possession, haven't created much of note against the team ranked 183rd in the world. Very poor, though their hapless display has been the genesis of this fantastic pun from Gareth Carpenter: "I think England are afraid that all the evils of the world will be unleashed if they actually manage to get into Andorra's box."..... ha I love that (England scraped home 2-0).
Anyway back to Andorra, which is precisely where we are now. Well it's absolutely brilliant (not like their footy team). All Pyreneesie like with picturesque mountains, blue lakes, expansive ski fields and wait for it...cheap beer!
So we went for a walkies today and the photos say it all. So if you are looking for picture postcard principality with one of the worst back lines in the history of football, this is definitely the place to visit.
