  1. I personally would not buy electrical equipment in Andorra, having been there, and looked round the shops, it was just like Tenerife; nothing is ever quite the latest model, there's never any prices on the goods, & for some reason they never seem to have what you want. When we were in Tenerife I wanted to buy speakers for my walkman & the bloke in the shop tried to convince me that speakers were always sold separately at a price per speaker .... Andorra struck me as exactly the same. My other half is a computer boffin/photographer & he would not have bought anything in Andorra (God knows he tried!). The other thing about the place is that you spend several hours driving up a tortuous road in a massive queue of traffic to get there (you also have to join a queue to both enter & leave the place); so any savings you have made are gone in petrol & you can only leave with about 1 litre of spirits with you (oh & they search about every other car as it leaves!) He also doesn't rate buying electrical goods in France - & believe me he has spent many hours browsing in Darty, Carrefour etc - they appear to be relatively expensive. To be honest, (in my opinion) you are far better off doing your research on the internet and getting something mail order. I recently bought a brilliant Sony P72 Digital Camera from Amazon for 60 less than the normal retail price (it was delivered to a UK address). I got a memory stick via the US Ebay site for a fraction of the UK cost. Obviously there's probably people who would disagree, but this is what we have found to be the easiest option. At least on the internet you can compare prices & see all different models & you don't have sales assistants coming up to you every few minutes trying to help.
