Església de Santa Eulàlia d'Encamp, Encamp, Andorra
Today we visit this jewel of the Romanesque, the Church of Santa Eulàlia Encamp, Andorra.
Of Romanesque origin, it has been expanded and modified during the Baroque period (XVI-XVII centuries) and in contemporary times (1925 and 1989).
The rectangular nave was extended in the seventeenth century. The Romanesque apse was demolished in 1925. In the south-west there is a exempt comunidor of rectangular windows and rooftops. It was intended to exorcise the storms. The original entrance is large and finished in an arch.
The highest Andorra's Romanesque bell tower, at 23 meters, is the highlight of the church, however it has an inclination of 50 cm towards the south that threatens its stability currently.
The plant is square with three floors of mullioned windows crowned with Lombard arches.
We want to thank Mossèn Toni for his kindness and for showing us this wonderful church where the historical parts are mixed with the modern parts in a modern style that is so interesting, witty and beautiful. A good example of architecture by all those who visit Andorra.

Avui fem una visita a aquesta joia del romànic, l'església de Santa Eulàlia d'Encamp, Andorra.
D'origen romànic, ha estat ampliada i modificada en època barroca (segles XVI-XVII) i en època contemporània (1925 i 1989).
La nau de planta rectangular va ser ampliada al segle XVII. L'absis romànic va ser enderrocat l'any 1925. A l'extrem sud-oest hi ha un comunidor exempt de planta rectangular i finestres als quatre vents. Estava destinat a exorcitzar les tempestes. La porta d'entrada original és gran i acabada en un arc de mig punt.
Destaca el campanar romànic més alt d'Andorra, amb 23 metres amb una inclinació amb un desplom de 50 cm cap al sud que fa perillar la seva estabilitat.
La planta és quadrada de tres pisos amb finestres geminades rematades amb arcs cecs de tipus llombard.
Volem donar les gràcies a Mossèn Toni per la seva amabilitat i mostrar-nos aquesta meravellosa església a on es barregen les parts històriques amb les parts modernes en un estil tant interessant, enginyós i bonic. Una bona mostra d'arquitectura per tots aquells que visitin Andorra.

So how does Andorra, this tiny and remote country, get eight million visitors per year? Landlocked between France and Spain, most visitors are from those two countries. Many of them like to go skiing in winter, or hiking in summer,
but the biggest factor is duty-free shopping. All of Andorra is duty-free and the value added tax or VAT is set at just 4.5%, making it a very attractive destination for shopping. Walking around town, you will notice an abundance of cigarettes, perhaps more cigarettes than anywhere else outside of airports. One pack of Marlboro, for instance, sets you back EUR 3.30 - that's less than half of what you'd pay in neighboring France.
You will also see a lot of cheap alcohol, perfumes, pharmaceuticals and electronics. Some of the goods are real bargains, others seemed more like tourist traps.
Let me be honest, Andorra la Vella may not be the most beautiful capital of a European country. The surrounding nature is very pretty, though, and the historic district of Andorra la Vella is definitely worth an hour or two.
My favorite building here was the 16th century Casa de la Vall, the headquarters of the Andorran parliament. The Principality of Andorra has retained its independence throughout the centuries as a feudal state and it took until 1993 to receive a constitution. Today, Andorra is a member of the United Nations and the Council of Europe. The official currency is the Euro, but the country is not part of the European Union. Therefore, you have to pass through immigration and customs at the border crossing and declare any goods you might bring to Spain or France exceeding the value of EUR 900.
Visiting Andorra was fun and I wish I had more time to explore the mountains. I never thought that I would say this, but Andorra is about more than just ticking off yet another country on your bucket list.
