Barcelona to Andorra la Vella by road

The fastest driving route is 199 km (124 mi) long and takes about 2 hr 45 min without stops or traffic. It runs mostly on the C-16 (114 km), the N-260 (32.6 km), and the C-58 (21.1 km).

Of the 199 km, 188 km are in Spain and 11.0 km are in Andorra. That’s an average of 73 km/h (45 mph). Spain’s traffic authority (DGT) recommends a break every two hours or 200 km: with 1 stop of 20 minutes, the trip takes about 3 hr 5 min. The time is OSRM’s estimate with OpenStreetMap data: no traffic and speeds somewhat below the limits, so real trips can differ.

Straight-line distance and bearing

In a straight line, the shortest distance over the Earth’s surface, Barcelona and Andorra la Vella are 136 km (84.7 mi) apart. That’s the geodesic on the WGS84 ellipsoid, the distance “as the crow flies”.

The road is 46% longer: for every 100 km in a straight line you drive 146. That’s a big detour: the fastest route strays quite far from the straight line. Of the 34 Spain–Europe driving pairs in this series, it ranks 4th for detour (the average is 31%).

From Barcelona, Andorra la Vella lies to the northwest (bearing 337°), and from Andorra la Vella, Barcelona lies to the southeast.
