We were walking around the gas station and asking people with a sign to Montpellier, suddenly a guy came to us and said he's going to Andorra. We were trying to get to Barcelona, so we were very lucky!―Anonymous

This is a surprisingly nice spot for something before the border. An open road with ample space to pull into the roadside car park. Lots of French traffic too since a lot of people go to El Pas De La Casa to for cigarettes and alcohol, then turn round and go home.The bus here from Andorra la Vella is deceptively long, and surprisingly more expensive than the other routes; so in my case, getting here from La Massana was a proper headache. Andorra's public transport really is nothing to write home about!
After a short walk and a talk with a very confused supermarket security guard, I was picked up by a mother and daughter from Ukraine, who took me to L'Hospitalet. Sadly, I never got their names…

A good spot… but a bad spot.I waited for over two hours in the direct sunlight in a heatwave for a ride to Andorra. In the end, a fisherman gave me a ride to the border, where I proceeded to walk through.
After waiting for an hour on the other side to no avail, I decided to go on foot. The blistering sun suddenly changed into a powerful rainstorm, the same storm the next day would go on to completely flood Andorra la Vella. Look what we've done to our environment.
I waited out the worst of the rain in the roadside McDonald's on the outskirts of Sant Julia; this would prove redundant, as soon as I started walking, the rains returned and soaked me through to my skin. In the end I took a bus, and got a bed in a cheap, albeit empty, hostel in La Massana. The next morning, fearing the return of the rain, I got straight on the bus to El Pas De La Casa and the French border with a Belorussian family on holiday.
Andorra was certainly gorgeous, and cheap, but definitely a place to come with a car. It would also help to be better prepared for hiking than someone who has just come from the Valencian interior in a heatwave, and who doesn't even have proper shoes.

March2011fm Andorra to France, I caught the line 4 bus to Pas del la Casa, ask the driver to drop you off at this round about. Little place to pull up but it was 30cm of snow and cars were driving slow, picked up by about the 15th car, 15minutes. Taken to Foix.
