Andorra is a principality located between France and Spain. It is usually a favorite among Lithuanian tourist seeking great cuisine and Ukrainian tourists (very recently) who visited assuming that Andorra was really Pandora in the Movie, Avatar. Ultimately the Lithuanians were happy, but the Ukrainians were bitterly disappointed.
Strangely enough, only until very recently, Andorra was completely unknown until a U.S. spy satellite spotted an incredibly large billboard, coded in Catalan describing the biggest shoe store, Andorra Footwear selling Andorran running footwear, that happen to be manufactured entirely beyond cobra snake skin. Obviously, when the bill board was translated, hoards of sneaker hungry European and US tourists flooded into Andorra to acquire these unusual sneakers. It’s not only About Snake Shoes!
Away from their sneakers, Andorra has far more to offer vacation hungry tourists or displaced terrorists seeking an out of the way location to hunker down. For starters, they have got far more to make available than anyone could ever imagine. What will happen are the ten very best things about Andorra that a lot of everyone would want to know.
1. The language is Like Spanish, but… The language of Andorra is very similar to Spanish, but was modified in 1342 by Prince Zebacula to confuse the Spanish. It resembles Spanish somewhat, however, a couple of extra letters were combined with totally confuse Spanish nobleman on their epic Scrabble tournaments, which are a well liked among both Andorrans as well as the Spanish. This gave the edge towards the Andorrans that had bet heavily and won large tracts of land in Greenland, which Spain had conquered and claimed as his or her own. Naturally, everyone residing in Greenland (maybe 11 people and 10 stranded caribou) knew that no person really wants to live there, anyway.
2. Andorran did not have any Native Snakes, Until 1994. Andorra did not have any reptiles of any sort, only one fateful day, an airliner flying low in the filming in the snake/plane movie in the Andorran countryside accidentally dropped 2,123 king cobras to the sleepy mountain towns of Andorra. The residents awoke and their horror, saw that they are overrun with large venomous cobras. Everyone hid, except one famous Andorran herpetologist who determined a means to solve the snake problem and connect their teetering economy which was almost insolvent for the reason that country purchased pre-Castro Cuban bearer bonds in large quantities. At any rate, Dr. Frederic Limon, convinced the townspeople to produce cobra moccasins that have been eventually called Snake Shoes which became an instant hit one of many few tourists that they. Andorran Snake Footwear is famous all over the world.
3. Andorra invented golf almost 1,300 years ago. For the reason that economy of Andorra was so heavily dependent upon ranching and because the majority of the cattle pastures were situated on the tops of hills and mountains within the Pyrenees, the towns which were located in the valleys under the pastures experienced the manure rolling into large clumps and landing during their towns. This caused a great deal of upset, until one of several townspeople dug holes all around the hills and through the outlying. The manure then rolled harmlessly in the holes as well as the problem was solved.
The Andorrans celebrated as well as on one inspired evening in 711 AD, they held an event and reenacted the reply to their manure problems. This become golfing and also the idea was quickly and shamelessly stolen through the Scottish aristocracy, which after a while has grown to be mistakenly related to Scotland. However, everyone in Andorra knows who really invented the sport They have a saying inside their language that, “Ells poden creure que ells, els escocesos, va inventar el golf, pero al final, l’unic que va fer va ser robar aquest joc Bol merda de nosaltres!” This could sometimes be quite clever if you understood Catalan.
4. Andorra invented skydiving in 1781. Juanito Megalora, an Andorran, was credited with having invented skydiving in 1781. He earned one fateful jump through the tallest peak in Andorra, Coma Pedrosa which can be roughly 9,650 feet high. It absolutely was formerly called Muntanya Pedrosa, until Megalora jumped off of the mountain to his sad destiny. He languished in the coma, hence the name, for 237 days until his death. The irony of the whole thing is that he or she have survived the jump, if he only waited until an operating parachute was really invented, which occurred in 1783 by Louis-Sebastien Lenormand, a Frenchman.
