Pas-de-la-Casa

The capital of jewellery shopping in the Pyrenees

The first Andorran town reached from France, Pas-de-la-Casa is a must-visit shopping destination for jewellery lovers. Set at 2,050 metres altitude on the French-Andorran border, the town concentrates a commercial offer that is unique in Europe.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors from France, Spain and across Europe stop in Pas-de-la-Casa to take advantage of an exceptional tax regime. Unlike European Union countries, the Principality of Andorra applies IGI (Impost General Indirecte) at only 4.5%, compared to 20% VAT in France or 21% in Spain on jewellery. The saving is significant, lawful and immediate.

Within this exceptional shopping area, Els Benvinguts has held a reference position since 1948. Our jewellery shop offers a discerning selection of 18-carat gold and 925 silver pieces, wedding bands, signet rings and designer jewellery — all at Andorran prices.

Pas-de-la-Casa is the first town in Andorra you reach when arriving from France via the Envalira pass. It is the natural starting point to discover Andorran shopping, and our jewellery is one of the best-known addresses on this commercial high street.

Our story

76 years of jewellery in Pas-de-la-Casa

1948

Els Benvinguts was born in Pas-de-la-Casa, Principality of Andorra.

Joan Borra Cebrian
FOUNDER

In 1948, when Pas-de-la-Casa was still only a high-mountain hamlet at the edge of the Pyrenees, Joan Borra Cebrian opened the doors of a jewellery shop with a simple conviction: to offer beautiful pieces of certified quality at the fairest possible price — made possible by the unique tax regime of the Principality of Andorra.

Since then the town has grown, Andorran retail has become a European reference, and Els Benvinguts has remained faithful to its founding values. The name itself — meaning The Welcomed in Catalan — sums up our philosophy: a warm welcome, sincere advice, and jewellery that genuinely deserves its price.

Today our team advises couples on their wedding bands, fine-jewellery enthusiasts, visitors stopping in Pas-de-la-Casa, and customers ordering from France or Spain through our online shop. Each one is welcomed with the same care and attention.
