The foods of Andorra
Traditional Andorran cuisine has always been linked to its condition of a country being in the Pyrenees. Its main recipes are similar to those in Catalan provinces in Spain, where they have developed during centuries heavily influenced by the cattle and farming cultures. The influence of its neighor being France adds to the cooking varieties of Andorra. The Mediterranean style of cuisine is also an influence.
The cuisine in Andorra is the legacy of the former inhabitants, and it comes as no surprise that it has strong Spanish and French influence. The Principality of Andorra features several relevant culinary events year-round, that help to keep alive the local cuisine.
The typical dishes to eat in Andorra are common to most high regions on the mountains. They are centered around elements such as fungi, river trout, grilled meat, and aioli. Some of the most renowned are: the “trinxat de montaña” made of potatoes, green cabbage, bacon, and garlic; and the Escudella, a typical casserolette from Cataluña.
