Long Queues at Spanish-Andorran Border as Tourists Return from Weekend

Long queues have formed at the Spanish-Andorran border over the Runer River on Sunday afternoon as tourists return home after enjoying the good weather over the weekend. Mobility department updates indicate dense traffic on the CG-1 road toward Spain, with vehicles advancing very slowly from the Epizen shopping centre roundabout—around 30 minutes to the border.

This marks a typical return-day scenario following busy weekends, particularly with favourable conditions drawing day-trippers and longer-stay visitors to the Principat. Outbound delays stretch for kilometres at the crossing, complicating departures from Andorra.

Additional congestion affects other routes, including the centre of Sant Julià de Lòria heading north; the CG-2 into Encamp heading south; and the CG-4 into La Massana heading south.

The situation echoes Friday's influx, when high tourist numbers caused severe hold-ups along the N-145 into Andorra, especially near Farga de Moles. Vehicles there nearly halted amid constant stops and minimal progress, with backups also reported on Avinguda Salou northbound; CG-2 into Encamp; the southbound road to Canillo; and CG-4 into La Massana southbound. Rising temperatures and sunny forecasts had spurred the initial rush.
