Come wintertime, warm weather might be in short supply in Barcelona, but there’s definitely no lack of things to do. From celebrations, to skiing, here are a few ideas to keep your chilly Spanish holiday filled with good times.

Ski in Andorra

If you’ve got a couple open days in your winter Barcelona itinerary, consider heading to another country to hit the slopes – seriously. At only about 2.5 to 3 hours away by car, and a little more by bus, you can get to the ski resorts of Andorra. The miniature nation is located in the Pyrenees — sandwiched between France and Spain – and roughly 2.5 times the size of Washington DC. The country, whose official language is Catalan (but where Spanish and French are spoken widely), is a tax-free haven, so beyond just ski slopes, it’s also a famous destination for purchasing other goodies like jewelry.
