Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has returned to Andorra for a holiday break, opting this time for accommodation in Encamp.
The trip, confirmed by sources at Spain's Moncloa Palace and reported by ABC newspaper, follows a similar summer visit by Sánchez and his family. Unlike his previous stay at the Sport Hotel Hermitage in Canillo, the prime minister has chosen a different location in Encamp. Government insiders suggest the change stems from an earlier protest by the far-right group HazteOír during his stay in Canillo.
Sánchez's current visit has spanned the entire Christmas period and will include ringing in the New Year—marking the arrival of 2026—with his family in the Pyrenean principality.
Upon returning to Madrid, the prime minister faces mounting challenges for his administration. His executive struggles to secure parliamentary majorities needed to pass legislation, while corruption allegations continue to surround senior PSOE officials.
