Andorra la Vella's Comú has presented its summer 2024 programme of guided tours, family activities, concerts and cultural events, running from 4 June to 29 August. The initiative aims to strengthen the capital's tourism and leisure offerings by linking urban, commercial, historical and natural sites, with activities spread throughout the week to appeal to both residents and visitors.
Wednesdays feature the theatrical tour "Els (més) frescos de Santa Coloma" in July and August, where participants explore the Espai Columba, church and streets of Santa Coloma alongside character-led performances. Thursdays from 16 July to 20 August combine the beekeeping experience "Ser apicultor per un dia" — including honey collection insights — with guided walks through Santa Coloma's heritage, such as the Espai Coloma, church and Margineda archaeological site, plus concerts at Bici Lab Andorra.
Other theatrical visits include "Les Veïnes del Centre Històric", recreating stories of three old-town women, and "L'Antoni Fiter i Rossell espera una visita", centred on the Manual Digest author. Weekend options cover family hikes like the Macarulla route and Amics de l'Estevet trail, cultural e-bike tours of parish landmarks, and evening e-bike rides. Ongoing self-guided paths include the Camí del Tamarro i bosc de l'Andy, Rec del Solà trail and Obaga viewpoints.
The schedule also incorporates outdoor cinema at Plaça del Poble, the QOM videopodcast launch, Bici Lab Andorra exhibitions, urban art installations in Riberaygua and Travesseres shopping areas, and the Mercat de la Vall on the first Saturday of each month from May to October in the Centre Històric, except August. In August, Avinguda Meritxell hosts the "Ritmes, Capital musical" concert series and its child-friendly version, "Ritmes Menuts".
Comú major Sergi González said the programme seeks to position Andorra la Vella as a hub for cultural, family and active tourism. It encourages locals and tourists alike to rediscover the parish through theatrical humour, evening e-bike rides or live street music.
Most activities have limited capacity and require advance booking via the Andorra la Vella Tourist Office.
