Village of Auvinyà and the White Lady
Auvinyà (traditionally Aubinyà) in the parish of Sant Julià de Lòria is a historic Pyrenean village renowned as the realm of the Dama Blanca (White Lady of Andorra).

This remarkable site represents a major landmark in Pyrenean dark folklore and Andorran cultural heritage, drawing folklore researchers, history enthusiasts, and curious travelers from across the world.
