You may have to wait a bit but you should get a ride some distance if you are patient. Lots of space to pull over into the petrol station. I had a sign for Barcelona (although it was pretty bad) but got a ride to Igualada. I got a ride with a local Catalan man working for meterology who was super curious and interesting to talk with. Would recommend.―Arcturus

A bit closer towards France there is another spot to hitchhike from but there was a weird person there doing some type of strange hitchhiking while playing weird music so I decided to walk here and after a few minutes I got picked up by a local Andorran who took me to the capital. Super cool car and he drove kinda crazy but I won't forget him. Good space here to pull over but probably only better with lower traffic.―Arcturus

It was raining very heavily when I got here so I had to wait a bit but once it subsided, I got a ride in a few minutes into Andorra with a quiet French dude. Plenty of space to pull over but a lot of people are doing U turns in that space too so be careful.―Arcturus

In the evening (20:00) not so many cars and also no one wants to take you. Possible but difficult―JamonWithRamon

After a short wait french people buying ciggies brought me to the roundabout at Pas de la Casa. Even at a late time no problem.―JamonWithRamon

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!―ignassew

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.
