Apple, Samsung, Sony, and Garmin have significantly lower prices. It&#039;s important to verify that the devices come with <strong>European guarantee<\/strong> (not an exclusive guarantee of Andorra), especially for technical service in Spain.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Perfumery and cosmetics<\/h3>\n<p>Major brands (Chanel, Dior, YSL, Lanc\u00f4me) are between 251 and 351 times cheaper. Specialty perfume shops on Avinguda Meritxell offer the best selection. Cosmetics with active ingredients (retinol, vitamin C) are also more affordable in Andorra than in Spanish pharmacies.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Tobacco<\/h3>\n<p>Tobacco is, proportionally, the product with the greatest savings: a pack of Marlboro costs <strong>3,50 \u20ac<\/strong> in Andorra compared to an average of \u20ac5.50 in Spain. Cigars and rolling tobacco also show notable differences. See the full guide at <a href=\"\/en\/tobacco-andorra-prices-brands\/\">Tobacco prices in Andorra<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Alcohol<\/h3>\n<p>Imported spirits, whiskey, gin, and rum are between 30% and 44% cheaper. Supermarkets (Bonpreu, Nacional) have the lowest prices for standard brands. Specialty stores also offer discounted selections of wines and champagnes.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What is NOT worth buying?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fashionable clothing<\/strong>Zara, H&amp;M and Mango have the same prices as in Spain (IGI 4.5% does not make sense for fashion).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Books and school supplies<\/strong>: same price or even more expensive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh food<\/strong>: well-stocked supermarkets, but without a price advantage over Spain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Luxury jewelry and watches<\/strong>The difference is minimal; it doesn&#039;t justify the trip for that reason alone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Shopping areas in Andorra<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Meritxell Avenue<\/strong> (Andorra la Vella): the main shopping street. Perfumes, cosmetics, jewelry, high-end electronics.
