I'm sorry Marc
I know how that feels.
Andorra is stunning, I don't think I can go back to Euskadi without spending a few days in Andorra.
Funny you mention that tunnel, we were staying in Arans near Ordino. we drove to El Pas de la Casa and on the way back I took a wrong turn and drove straight into that tunnel. What a tunnel
Straight through this huge mountain, GPS went blank and we were hoping to come out somewhere familiar, turns out the exit was only 5 minutes from home, no toll, free. Loved it.
The week we were there I drove literally N,S,E,W across all the main and secondary roads until we he hit the borders, sight-seeing and scouting for nightscapes. The only road closure was the secondary road between Canillo and Ordino.
After seeing Andorra during winter I would now love to see it at the start to mid of Autumn when those oaks roble turn yellow, orange and red. The sight of the mountians in those colours must be breath taking.

Very nice capture  |
Thanks Bob! Very true, most visitors I've shown around here just gasp at the sight of the night sky and as you say the bush, so much space and so easy to get lost out there!
