Andorra is a principality located between France and Spain. It’s also a well liked among Lithuanian tourist seeking fantastic cuisine and Ukrainian tourists (very recently) who attended believing that Andorra was actually Pandora from the Movie, Avatar. Ultimately the Lithuanians were happy, but the Ukrainians were bitterly disappointed.
Interestingly enough, only until very recently, Andorra was completely unknown until a U.S. spy satellite spotted a very large billboard, designed in Catalan describing the biggest shoe store, Andorra Footwear selling Andorran jogging sneakers, which can be manufactured entirely away from cobra snake skin. Of course, once the bill board was translated, hoards of sneaker hungry European and US tourists flooded into Andorra to acquire these unusual sneakers. It is not just About Snake Shoes!
Beyond their sneakers, Andorra has a lot more to supply vacation hungry tourists or displaced terrorists seeking an off the beaten track spot to hunker down. For one thing, they have got far more to make available than anyone could ever imagine. Here are some will be the ten very best things about Andorra that most everyone wish to know.
1. The text is Kind of Like Spanish, but… The language of Andorra is extremely comparable to Spanish, but was modified in 1342 by Prince Zebacula to confuse the Spanish. It resembles Spanish in some ways, however, a couple of extra letters were included with totally confuse Spanish nobleman on their epic Scrabble tournaments, that happen to be a favorite among both Andorrans as well as the Spanish. This gave the sting towards the Andorrans who’d bet heavily and won large tracts of land in Greenland, which Spain had conquered and claimed as his or her own. Needless to say, everyone surviving in Greenland (maybe 11 people and 10 stranded caribou) knew that nobody really wants to live there, anyway.
2. Andorran did not have any Native Snakes, Until 1994. Andorra had no reptiles of any type, just one fateful day, an airliner flying low throughout the filming from the snake/plane movie on the Andorran countryside accidentally dropped 2,123 king cobras on top of the sleepy mountain towns of Andorra. The residents awoke and also to their horror, saw they were overrun with large venomous cobras. Everyone hid, except one famous Andorran herpetologist who figured out a method to solve the snake problem and fasten their teetering economy that was almost insolvent since the country purchased pre-Castro Cuban bearer bonds in bulk. At any rate, Dr. Frederic Limon, convinced the townspeople to create cobra moccasins that had been eventually called Snake Shoes which became an instantaneous hit one of many few tourists that they. Andorran Snake Footwear is famous throughout the world.
3. Andorra invented golf almost 1,300 in years past. Since the economy of Andorra was very heavily based mostly on ranching also, since most of the cattle pastures were found on the tops of hills and mountains from the Pyrenees, the towns that have been located in the valleys underneath the pastures suffered from 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 throughout the hills and throughout the country. The manure then rolled harmlessly to the holes and also the problem was solved.
The Andorrans celebrated and on one inspired evening in 711 AD, they held a celebration and reenacted the answer to their manure problems. This converted into the sport of golf as well as the idea was quickly and shamelessly stolen from the Scottish aristocracy, which over time is now mistakenly related to Scotland. However, everyone in Andorra knows who invented the action There is a saying of 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 would sometimes be quite clever in case you understood Catalan.
4. Andorra invented skydiving in 1781. Juanito Megalora, an Andorran, was credited with having invented skydiving in 1781. He made one fateful jump from the tallest peak in Andorra, Coma Pedrosa that’s roughly 9,650 feet high. It turned out formerly called Muntanya Pedrosa, until Megalora jumped over mountain to his sad destiny. He languished in a coma, hence the name, for 237 days until his death. The irony in the entire thing is he might have survived the jump, if he only waited until a working parachute was really invented, which occurred in 1783 by Louis-Sebastien Lenormand, a Frenchman.
