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

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.

My heart wasn't really in this one. It was late enough to know I wasn't going to reach Andorra by nightfall, but I thought I'd give it a quick go before heading into the little restaurant for dinner, and setting up camp for the night.The spot is a big straight road with excellent visibility, featuring a big, long gravel car park that goes straight up to the road with no barriers, so it's incredibly easy to pull over.
I set a fifteen-minute timer, that's all I wanted to wait. Lo and behold, as soon as my timer rang, a car pulled over. I was picked up by Martina, an older lady who was apparently a DJ back in the 90s, and now organises country music camper van meetups in the Pyrenees!
She took me to La Seu D'Urgell; in retrospect, I shouldn't have taken this ride. I should have camped, as the only accommodation still open in town by the time we got there was way over what I was hoping to pay, for a truly awful, filthy room.
Oh, well… you live and learn.
