There is a large supermarket that has an aire behind it, on the way down passed the main city and towards the border post. Water and dump available but not attractive, as it is also the lorry entrance for the supermarket.. It does have some signs but need looking for. I went into Andorra 3/4 full of diesel and wished otherwise as it WAS 80cent a litre, but have been told it is of dubious quality by others, although it does come from Spain so should be the same as theirs.
I got turned out at the border to Spain by the Spanish customs. when I asked why, it Was told they were searching for GOLD AND CIGARETTES.. that is a laugh as the so called gold would be gold plated Tungsten block.. Big scam I though they would know about. lots of GOLD is like that to catch the muppets. I did think they were going to seize my new drone though.

I called in there to dump and fill earlier in the year and as you say not the prettiest of places but ok down at the far end by the river if a little desperate. I think I have been through about seven times in total, 6 by motorcycle and only once in the van. Every time they have been pulling MHs and checking, never pulled for a check when on the bike. Though the prices are tempting the limits are strict, the risk is up to the individual.
Parking in the City is extremely difficult and motorhomes are directed around and excluded from parts.

We went through last October on our way south. Andora did not seem like the most motorhome friendly country in the world - we couldn,t find anywhere to even stop and take photos, apart from one café with a car park. Some fiends of ours took their motorhome in on their wedding anniversary and decided to get a hotel room for the night. The only place they could park their motorhome was in the campsite, so they ended up paying hotel and campsite! There is a nice little free aire just inside Spain at Le Seu d'Urgell (pretty little village) so we stayed there - after filling up with cheap diesel in Andora

We stopped over in Andorra last May -- we entered through the Spanish border. We stopped at St Julia (GPS 42.46582, 1.49449), arriving about 17:00 and leaving at 07:30 the following day. IIRC it cost us about 5€ for the night with free EHU (there are 4 places with electric). We had also considered a much larger, and more level aire at GPS (42.53278, 1.69715). However, when we saw it as we climbed up to the Pas de la Casa we were glad we hadn't -- it was still under snow during mid-May! HTH, Geoff
