Many hotels offer half board so there is a temptation to stay in to eat however one evening you should take a taxi down into Andorra La Vella (approx 15 euros) and sample at least one restaurant in the capital. Among those highly recommended are San Marco (chef Marco Mora) www.sari_restaurant.com, El Rusc (chef Pablo Urcelay) www.elrsuc.com, El Cresper (chef Michael Bayloco) [email protected] and Can Benet (chef Jospeh Maria Benet) www.restaurant-canbenet.com.

Disco-pub Solana (located in the Hotel Solana) likes to stay open late. El Cisco offers house and ambient music. Rocky Mountain and Bogart vie for best live music, all year round while Derby, an Irish pub, just likes to be noisy. Its big rival is Quo Vadis, a traditional English pub next to Hotel Ayma.
