Les Pardines 1819:
the origin

In the summers of the 19th century, the transhumance of sheep from France and Spain to Andorra was common. Jacint Puy Asquerrà, an austere and tenacious mountain man, began to take care of them as a shepherd to earn a living and to make his own cheeses himself, to sell them.

This is how our great-grandfather managed to save the 15,000 pesetas (€90.15) with which, in 1932, he became the owner of the edges of Les Pardines. The farm was documented in deeds prior to the year 1600. And its main building was built in 1819.

And so it continued for years, despite the subsistence economy and the harsh climate (at 1,600 m altitude) of this enclave in the Pyrenees. His third son, Josep Puy Rosell, and his wife, Lola, continued the family tradition, with livestock as their main activity. But they decided to expand it with agricultural activities of planting cereals... and an incipient crop: tobacco.

In the 70s, Andorra had undergone the great economic transformation, open to tourism and trade. When Josep Puy Bergés took over the reins of Casa Ginota, tobacco growing was already the economic engine of the country's primary sector.

Throughout this history, Les Pardines 1819 has always been a welcoming place.

That is what our godmother Lola always told us: Shelter for shepherds, or people passing through surprised by inclement weather. Or, simply, a resting place during the walk to high altitudes (the current road did not exist). Hostel for workers of the FHASA hydroelectric company. Even a hideout for maquis, at gunpoint, during the Spanish civil war... Everyone found a place to rest and take something hot to their stomachs.

Les Pardines 2023: current news

And now, we, sons of the fourth generation, have converted Les Pardines into a boutique hotel, where tradition and modernity come together to offer a unique and first-class experience, while maintaining, at the same time, the inherited agricultural activity.

At Les Pardines 1819 we want to offer you a few days of relaxation, tranquility and good food in an unbeatable environment. We want to show you -as we have done for generations to our visitors- the values and the essence of the Andorran tradition, in one of its huts. For this, we have completely renovated it, with the highest levels of comfort, warmth and commitment to the environment. We sincerely hope you enjoy it.

The biomass we use comes from renewable sources such as wood and agricultural waste, and its use allows us to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the fight against climate change.
