Les Bons () is a village in the parish of Encamp, Andorra. The Romanesque church Església de Sant Romà de les Bons is located within the village. The village is undergoing a renovation project that is expected to end in 2026.

Geography

Les Bons is located within the parish of Encamp, in the country of Andorra. It is at an altitude of 1,336 meters. The area is at risk for landslides and was unreachable by vehicles for a week in 2021, as demolition work was done on the Hort del Roc terrace to prevent future landslides. €500,000 were spent in 2023, in order to fix a slope that had rocks falling onto the roads.

History

The 12th century Romanesque church Església de Sant Romà de les Bons is located within Les Bons. Església de Sant Romà de les Bons and Torre dels Moros have both been submitted to become UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In 1551, Pont lo Vell, a man from Les Bons, was accused of witchcraft.

An 18 month renovation project for the town started in 2024, and is expected to end in 2026. The €2.4 million project would replace all of the pavement in the village, rebuild the supply and water networks, bury telecommunications and electricity lines, and renovate historic locations within the village.

Demographics

The population of Les Bons rose from 992 in 2010, to 1,171 in 2024. The English poet James Kirkup was a resident of the village.

Transportation

The area has been serviced since 2021 by an on-demand bus service operated by Uclic.
