Andorra is a small state in Europe, located on a territory dominated by a subtropical mountain climate. The country is located in the Pyrenees Mountains, which protect it from cold northerly winds. The Mediterranean Sea is located close to Andorra, thanks to which the weather conditions become even milder.
Andorra is distinguished by relief zoning, and therefore the weather conditions can be radically different, because they depend on the location of the mountain slope, as well as on the height above sea level. At the bottom there are coniferous forests, then - alpine meadows, and on the tops of the mountains there is always snow.
In May, the weather gets better and is conducive to long walks and getting to know the country. The temperature, which is around 20 degrees, allows you to enjoy the warm spring. However, it is important to prepare for the fact that it often rains in May and protection from them becomes mandatory.
Cultural leisure, no doubt, will brighten up the ambiguity of the weather in Andorra.
