Heavy traffic at Spain–Andorra border ahead of ski and shopping weekend

Key Points
- High volumes both entering and leaving Andorra, with delays uphill to Sant Julià.
- Slow-moving southbound traffic for roughly the last 3 km before the Runer River.
- Demand boosted by open ski sectors and the start of the Christmas shopping season.
- Authorities warn of intermittent severe mobility problems; monitor forecasts and agency traffic updates.
Traffic is heavy this afternoon in the Spain–Andorra border area. Both entry to and exit from the country are experiencing very high volumes, with some delays as far as Sant Julià when heading uphill and slow-moving southbound traffic for roughly the last three kilometres before the Runer River.
A busy weekend of visitors is expected. This final weekend of November brings together two factors: several ski sectors are already open, boosting demand from regular ski tourists, and the peak Christmas shopping season is beginning.
Authorities warn there may be intermittent periods throughout the weekend with serious mobility problems at border crossings. Drivers and visitors should monitor forecasts and follow updates from the agencies responsible for managing the country’s traffic.
