Molleres is a peaceful residential area within the parish of Encamp in Andorra, situated at an elevation of approximately 1,300 meters above sea level. This settlement is located near the Valira d'Orient river and showcases the traditional Pyrenean architectural style, characterized by the extensive use of granite and slate.
