The Christmas festivities are behind us and January’s been an uphill struggle, with the obligatory – and sometimes eagerly-awaited – return to routine, to a more balanced diet and physical exercise, for some of us a good resolution and for others a necessity. We’re beginning a February in which Andorra’s illa Carlemany shopping centre is...
At illa Carlemany, Andorra’s centre, dogs have free access to public areas, providing their owners keep them on a lead, hold them by the neck on escalators and obey the restrictions on entrance to certain establishments. Customers can often be seen looking at shop windows with their dog beside them, or taking their pet to...
Be in fashion and wear good, comfortable gear. These are the golden rules of winter sports clothing labels. As well as stylish, garments must be practical, allowing freedom of movement and protecting against the cold, wind, rain and snow. Peak Performance, The North Face, Helly Hansen, Salomon, Haglöfs and Oakley merge fashion and technology to...
With just days to go before the Three Kings arrive from the Orient bearing their gifts for everybody, their helpers are very busy. While their royal postmen are still collecting letters from children saying what gifts they want, as they are doing at illa Carlemany from 6 to 9 o’clock every evening until this Wednesday,...
Many of us, by now, are rushing to get our homes decorated for the seasonal festivities upon us. Families with kids are probably ahead of the curve here.

With the low temperatures we’re having this winter, you may have found your car windows or door handles frozen after parking in the street for a whole day’s shopping in the centre of Andorra. If you have parked on the street and you find the windows, windscreen, door handles or mirrors frozen, do not activate...
Clothing collections always arrive in Andorra before you see them in the shop windows in neighbouring countries. In August, for example, here you can already try on many of the winter ranges. As a result, discounts in our shops are available earlier too, which means Christmas is also the sale season, and this will certainly...
The Christmas season is all about sharing good times around the table. Special meals and treats are what we all look forward to on Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day and Epiphany. And while we may not be able to get the whole gang together this year due to COVID-19, that won’t stop...
On Thursday 26 November, the illa Carlemany shopping centre will bring in the Christmas season with the traditional lighting of festive decorations. Our majestic tree, more than ten metres high, will again preside over the central space at illa Carlemany, adorned with lights, baubles, sparkles, and glitter. Unlike other years, and due to COVID-19 restrictions,...
