### Upcoming Events and Exhibitions in Andorra

Pas de la Casa has launched its annual Sant Antoni festival, where attendees can buy a traditional escudella meal at tourist offices or on the event day. The full plate costs €8, or €2 for escudella alone in this year's packaged format, with distribution starting at 1pm from Plaça de l’Església de Sant Pere.

Several exhibitions across the Principality showcase art, history and culture, many extending into early spring. The Museu del Còmic in La Massana presents "Solo" by Óscar Martín, following the journey of a heroic figure created by one of the artists behind the Tom and Jerry comics, on display until 16 January.

In Andorra la Vella, Espai Columba features Rafa Contreras’s "Andorra Romànica en 40 Mirades," comprising 40 black-and-white photos shot with a vintage analogue camera that evoke the enduring character of ten Romanesque churches, running until 17 January. At Bici Lab Andorra, "Ciutats a Escala Humana" explores how cities have grown over centuries into more densely populated and intricate environments, open until 28 February. The CEE hosts "Del Néixer al Renéixer: Vivències a l’Antic Egipte," with archaeological items from Barcelona’s Egyptian Museum illustrating everyday life in ancient Egypt, through 21 February.

The government’s exhibition hall in Andorra la Vella displays "Pioners 1884-1954: L’Andorra dels Primers Fotògrafs," using preserved archival collections to document the origins of photography in the country, until 7 March. Espai Caldes in Escaldes-Engordany presents French street artist C215 (Christian Guémy) and his "Figures de l’Empancipació," a collection of portraits saluting major figures in France’s fights for emancipation and liberty, until 13 March. La Massana’s communal library exhibits "El Londres de Virginia Woolf," with original illustrations by Arnau Sánchez Campamà created for the Trotalibros edition of Woolf’s *London*.

Recent conferences include a talk by photographer Israel Ariño on "Processos antics aplicats a la fotogràfica contemporània" at 7pm in the government’s exhibition hall in Andorra la Vella, examining 19th-century photographic techniques through the lens of modern artists who share similar visions and influences with early pioneers.

In Escaldes-Engordany, "Cafè de la Mort," an open forum for candid discussions on death, begins at 6:30pm at Hotel Roc Blanc. This is followed by "Andorra i la Unió Europea" at 7:30pm in the Comú’s act hall, which outlines the Principality’s distinctive ties to the EU via sectoral agreements and a customs union, despite lacking full membership.

Additional talks feature David Murias on "Mens sana in corpore sano" at 7:30pm in the Auditori del Palau de Gel in Canillo, prompting reflection on fast-paced, hyperconnected lifestyles and personal well-being. "El conjunt familiar de Nikare. Un estudi en clau de gènere" at 7pm in the Comú’s act hall in Escaldes-Engordany analyses gender themes like masculinities, femininities, ageing, childhood, pregnancy and birth through an Old Kingdom sculptural group. "Neurovendes: Canvia la teva sort en vendes" runs from 6pm to 8pm at Hive Five Coworking in Andorra la Vella, delving into brain-based decision-making behind customer hesitations unrelated to price or product.
