Travora
/ Andorra
A tiny principality tucked in the Pyrenees, blending skiing, duty-free shopping and mountain trails.
Andorra is a tiny landlocked country with no airport, wedged between France and Spain, where the mountains rule. For a Cameroonian traveler it is a rare taste of snow and fresh alpine air: you reach it by bus from Toulouse or Barcelona, and the capital is small enough to explore on foot.
