Andorra experienced a string of unusual incidents in 2025 that drew widespread attention without causing serious harm. These real-life events, often described as surreal, disrupted everyday routines and became some of the year's most discussed stories.
In Sant Julià de Lòria, residents discovered a refrigerator that had fallen onto a parked car, shattering its windshield with the appliance standing upright on the vehicle. No construction work, high winds, or prior warnings explained the mishap. Locals speculated about a botched move or accidental drop, but no one was injured. The bizarre scene prompted more photos than emergency calls.
Police in Andorra spotted two YouTubers riding electric scooters at 55 km/h—far exceeding limits for personal mobility vehicles. Remarkably, officers issued only a warning, with no fine imposed, turning the encounter into viral fodder rather than a standard enforcement report.
A rat caused a stir in central Andorra la Vella, darting across busy streets and attempting to enter shops. Witnesses in the capital's crowded area expressed surprise, but no incidents or follow-up actions were reported.
At a roundabout crepe stand, videos surfaced of the vendor verbally abusing customers, sparking a social media frenzy. The outbursts formed part of a deliberate tactic to attract attention, which succeeded: long queues formed, memes proliferated, and views soared into the hundreds of thousands, especially in Spain. The crepe maker emerged as one of Andorra's most recognised online figures.
More seriously, a 49-year-old Andorran woman spent three days in La Comella prison due to an administrative error. She entered on Friday, December 26—Sant Esteve—after a 2021 arrest warrant activated. Authorities released her on Monday, December 29, after confirming she qualified for a co-princes' pardon that exempted her from custody. The mistake went unnoticed over the holiday weekend, and she may seek compensation for damages.
None of these episodes altered the nation, but each compelled double-takes for their sheer improbability.
