Why Escaldes-Engordany matters

Escaldes-Engordany merges with the capital, but it has its own character as the spa town of Andorra. Hot springs bubble up here, and the town is home to Caldea, a vast glass thermal spa. Its name comes from the Catalan word for hot water. After a day of skiing or hiking, this is where you come to soak.
