What guided this image
Landmarks
Casa de la Vall; Sant Esteve Church; The Barri Antic; Casa de la Vall
Viewpoint
Use a moderately elevated view from the Rec del Solà hillside across the old quarter and valley floor, a setting that is more representative than isolating Casa de la Vall and hiding the modern city.
Palette
Muted botanical green should predominate on the real mountain slopes, with slate grey in the characteristic roofing and blue-grey in the modern valley-floor buildings.
Guarded against
Avoid making Andorra la Vella look like a Swiss chalet village, a flat Castilian town, or a tiny isolated ski resort; do not transplant the Caldea complex from neighboring Escaldes-Engordany into the old quarter.
