Viral TikTok Mocks Stereotypical Catalan Tourists in Andorra

A humorous TikTok video poking fun at the stereotypical behaviour of the "average Catalan" tourist in Andorra has gone viral, racking up over 40,000 views in just four days.

Filmed in Andorra la Vella, the clip satirises familiar tropes among visitors from Catalonia, such as obsessively checking petrol prices, urging companions to switch off mobile data to avoid roaming charges, and hunting for cheap perfume to take home for mum. The creator also takes ironic jabs at assumptions that "people here have loads of money" and nostalgic price comparisons with years gone by.

One standout line—"here, speaking Catalan is mandatory"—has drawn particular laughs, highlighting visitors' perceptions of Andorra's linguistic landscape, where Catalan holds official status alongside other languages.

The simple yet sharp staging has sparked a flood of comments from viewers who say they recognise themselves in the scenarios. Many have shared their own stories of bargain-hunting sprees and last-minute data toggles at the border.

The video's rapid spread underscores the enduring appeal of Andorra's duty-free shopping and low prices for Catalan day-trippers, even as it playfully exposes the clichés that come with them.
