Andorra, more than 2,000 shops
The competitive prices, quality, flexible hours and public safety are some of the factors which mean that Andorra is the centre of international shopping. A wide variety of products from five continents can be found in more than 2,000 shops in Andorra. One of the tendencies experienced by this sector over recent years has been the geographical concentration by areas of activity.
Andorra’s commercial tradition is famous worldwide thanks to its 2,000 modern boutiques and shops, its quality products, its competitive prices and its flexible hours. Although there are shops in the entire country, most are concentrated in Andorra la Vella, the capital, Escaldes-Engordany, and Pas de la Casa. There are several large shopping centres in Sant Julià de Lòria.
Household electronics and information technology, such as video and audio equipment, cameras, computers and electronic diaries, are cheaper in Andorra than in Spain. And the main fashion brands, accessories and sports gear can be found at more competitive prices, in addition to perfumes, toys, watches and CDs.
In the Principality there are many shops where these products can be bought.
Fashion, perfumes, jewellery, music, food and sports equipment
The main fashion and accessories shops, perfumeries and the most prestigious jewellery and watch brands are found on Avenida Meritxell in Andorra la Vella and on the Avenida Carlemany in Escaldes–Engordany. The best selection of music is in the large shopping centres or in shops in Andorra la Vella, Escaldes–Engordany or Sant Julià de Lòria. There are also specialized food and drink establishments in Andorra la Vella, Escaldes–Engordany and Ordino. There are sports shops in all parishes of the country. Establishments dedicated to car, hunting and fishing accessories are mainly found in Andorra la Vella.
Duty Free
The products that can be imported into Spain or France are tax free up to certain limits and must be declared when they exceed a specific amount. For example, visitors over the age of 15 who buy durable products worth more than 525 € must pay duty before taking them to Spain or France.
