Sant Julia de LoriaSant Julià de Lòria
A quick stop on the way to or from Spain: half a day for the tobacco museum and a Romanesque church, or skip it for Andorra la Vella.
Sant Julia de Loria is the southernmost parish of Andorra, 7.5 km from the capital on the main road to Spain. It has a tobacco museum, a Romanesque church and a mountain sanctuary, but most travellers pass through without stopping. A half-day visit works if you have a car; otherwise, the bus schedule makes it awkward.

Rules in force · 9Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Iberia ↗Plan meals on the Iberian clock: Spanish kitchens serve lunch from about 13:30–14:00 and dinner from 20:30–21:00; Portugal eats an hour or so earlier. Early evenings are for tapas or petiscos, not full meals.
- Iberia ↗Inland Spain and Portugal (Seville, Córdoba, Madrid, the Alentejo) pass 40 °C in heatwaves from late June to August: sightsee before 11:00 and after 18:00, and keep July–August for the coasts and the green north.
- Iberia ↗Andorra and Gibraltar have their own border and customs rules and are reached only through Spain (or France for Andorra); read their pages before adding them, especially if you hold a limited Schengen visa.
- Andorra ↗Andorra is outside the EU and Schengen: you leave the Schengen area when you enter and re-enter it when you leave. If you need a Schengen visa, make sure it allows multiple entries; check the official rules for your passport.
- Andorra ↗Duty-free prices come with strict allowances on tobacco, alcohol and other goods when you return to Spain or France; customs checks are routine.
- Andorra ↗In winter, snow chains or winter tyres may be required on the mountain roads; check road conditions before you drive.
- Andorra ↗The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC/GHIC) is not valid in Andorra, and mountain rescue and ski injuries are billed privately: travel insurance that covers skiing and hiking is essential.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
