Andorra is often a principality located between France and Spain. It is usually a popular among Lithuanian tourist seeking really good cuisine and Ukrainian tourists (very recently) who attended believing that Andorra really was Pandora in the Movie, Avatar. Ultimately the Lithuanians were happy, but the Ukrainians were bitterly disappointed.
Oddly enough, only until very recently, Andorra was completely unknown until a U.S. spy satellite spotted an extremely large billboard, designed in Catalan describing the largest shoe store, Andorra Footwear selling Andorran running footwear, which are manufactured entirely away from cobra snake skin. Needless to say, once the bill board was translated, hoards of sneaker hungry European and US tourists flooded into Andorra to get these unusual sneakers. It isn’t just About Snake Shoes!
Away from their sneakers, Andorra has much more to make available vacation hungry tourists or displaced terrorists seeking an off the beaten track spot to hunker down. For instance, they have a lot more to offer than anyone could ever imagine. Below would be the ten best things about Andorra that a lot of everyone want to know.
1. The language is Like Spanish, but… Which of Andorra is quite comparable to Spanish, but was modified in 1342 by Prince Zebacula to confuse the Spanish. It resembles Spanish somewhat, however, a few extra letters were combined with totally confuse Spanish nobleman during their epic Scrabble tournaments, which can be a favourite among both Andorrans and the Spanish. This gave the extra edge to the Andorrans who had bet heavily and won large tracts of land in Greenland, which Spain had conquered and claimed his or her own. Obviously, everyone surviving in Greenland (maybe 11 people and 10 stranded caribou) knew that nobody wishes to live there, anyway.
2. Andorran didn’t have any Native Snakes, Until 1994. Andorra didn’t have any reptiles of any kind, just one fateful day, an airliner flying low during the filming of the snake/plane movie on the Andorran countryside accidentally dropped 2,123 king cobras to the sleepy mountain towns of Andorra. The residents awoke also to their horror, saw they were overrun with large venomous cobras. Everyone hid, except one famous Andorran herpetologist who figured out a means to solve the snake problem and fasten their teetering economy that was almost insolvent for the reason that country purchased pre-Castro Cuban bearer bonds in big amounts. Anyway, Dr. Frederic Limon, convinced the townspeople to generate cobra moccasins which are eventually called Snake Shoes which became an immediate hit on the list of few tourists they had. Andorran Snake Footwear is famous the world over.
3. Andorra invented golf almost 1,300 in the past. For the reason that economy of Andorra was so heavily established by ranching also, since the majority of the cattle pastures were on the tops of hills and mountains inside the Pyrenees, the towns that have been based in the valleys under the pastures suffered from the manure rolling into large clumps and landing during their towns. This caused a lot of upset, until one of several townspeople dug holes throughout the hills and during the entire country side. The manure then rolled harmlessly to the holes as well as the problem was solved.
The Andorrans celebrated and on one inspired evening in 711 AD, they held a celebration and reenacted damaged whipped cream their manure problems. This changed into golfing and also the idea was quickly and shamelessly stolen by the Scottish aristocracy, which as time passes has grown to be mistakenly linked to Scotland. However, everyone in Andorra knows nobody invented the sport They have a saying within their language with 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 might 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 made one fateful jump through the tallest peak in Andorra, Coma Pedrosa which is roughly 9,650 feet high. It turned out formerly called Muntanya Pedrosa, until Megalora jumped from the mountain to his sad destiny. He languished inside a coma, hence the name, for 237 days until his death. The irony in the whole thing is always that he could have survived the jump, if he only waited until a functional parachute was invented, which occurred in 1783 by Louis-Sebastien Lenormand, a Frenchman.
