+3kms at O fork R onto L-510 D Alins.
[1st R is Tirvia: Tirvia was destroyed during Spanish Civil War as it was look out/radio station between the opposing lines. The Catalunya Government has restored 15 such villages in recent years. It is worth a walk round (park in square as some of the overhangs will be too low for cruisers). Tirvia looks down on its helicopter pad – most Spanish mountain villages have a heli-pad – it’s part of the Health Service and it’s not charity dependent!]
Alins: Hotel Saloria on left, café on right and car park just round the bend on the right. In the middle at the back of the car park a track leads off (signed Tor). This is the start of Smugglers’ Pass. Ignore the couple of tracks off to the left and arrive in the village of Tor, which is only occupied during the summer. In Tor follow track round LH bend and turn R over bridge. Stay on main track and when you join the tarmac road at the top you are in Andorra.
