Sant Julia de Loria

Sant Julia de Loria is the southernmost parish in Andorra and spreads across mountainous terrain at around 900 meters elevation. The area contains several small settlements and is defined by forests and mountain ridges.

The region has roots in medieval settlements that grew in this elevated zone of Andorra. Over time it became an important administrative center managing the southern territory in the Pyrenees.

The name Sant Julia comes from Saint Julia, an early Christian martyr whose veneration runs deep in this region. The village and its surroundings were built around this religious connection and still carry traces of this spiritual importance.

The best time to explore is during warmer months when mountain trails are clear and passable. A local information center can provide tips on hiking routes and seasonal activities.

The Rabassa forest zone contains Naturland, an outdoor recreation center located at the highest elevation in the area. This facility offers winter activities and nature experiences that visitors often overlook despite being easily accessible.
