Andorra is really a principality located between France and Spain. It is also a popular among Lithuanian tourist seeking great cuisine and Ukrainian tourists (very recently) who went there thinking that Andorra was Pandora from your Movie, Avatar. Ultimately the Lithuanians were happy, nevertheless the Ukrainians were bitterly disappointed.
Strangely enough, only until very recently, Andorra was completely unknown until a U.S. spy satellite spotted an extremely large billboard, coded in Catalan describing the largest shoe store, Andorra Footwear selling Andorran jogging sneakers, which can be manufactured entirely beyond cobra snake skin. Naturally, after the bill board was translated, hoards of sneaker hungry European and US tourists flooded into Andorra to get these unusual sneakers. It is not just About Snake Shoes!
Outside their sneakers, Andorra has much more to supply vacation hungry tourists or displaced terrorists seeking an out of the way destination to hunker down. For starters, they’ve got a lot more to offer than anyone could ever imagine. What follows would be the ten most fascinating reasons for having Andorra that a majority of everyone wish to know.
1. Which is quite Like Spanish, but… The text of Andorra is incredibly similar to Spanish, but was modified in 1342 by Prince Zebacula to confuse the Spanish. It resembles Spanish in some ways, however, several extra letters were combined with totally confuse Spanish nobleman in their epic Scrabble tournaments, which are a favourite among both Andorrans along with the Spanish. This gave the sting on the Andorrans who had 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 moving into Greenland (maybe 11 people and 10 stranded caribou) knew that no person would like to live there, anyway.
2. Andorran did not have any Native Snakes, Until 1994. Andorra didn’t have any reptiles regardless of the sort, just one fateful day, an airliner flying low through the filming with the snake/plane movie on the Andorran countryside accidentally dropped 2,123 king cobras on the sleepy mountain towns of Andorra. The residents awoke and also to their horror, saw them to be overrun with large venomous cobras. Everyone hid, except one famous Andorran herpetologist who worked 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. Just the same, Dr. Frederic Limon, convinced the townspeople to make cobra moccasins that have been eventually called Snake Shoes which became an immediate hit one of the few tourists they had. Andorran Snake Footwear is famous around the world.
3. Andorra invented golf almost 1,300 in the past. For the reason that economy of Andorra was heavily based mostly on ranching and since most of the cattle pastures were located on the tops of hills and mountains inside the Pyrenees, the towns that have been located in the valleys under the pastures suffered with the manure rolling into large clumps and landing in the center of their towns. This caused a great deal of upset, until one of the townspeople dug holes all around the hills and throughout the country. The manure then rolled harmlessly into 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 the reply to their manure problems. This converted into golf and the idea was quickly and shamelessly stolen from the Scottish aristocracy, which after a while is becoming mistakenly associated with Scotland. However, everyone in Andorra knows who really invented the action These people have a saying in 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 earned one fateful jump from the tallest peak in Andorra, Coma Pedrosa which is roughly 9,650 feet high. It was formerly called Muntanya Pedrosa, until Megalora jumped from the mountain to his sad destiny. He languished in the coma, and so the name, for 237 days until his death. The irony from the whole thing is the fact that he could have survived the jump, if he only waited until a working parachute was invented, which happened in 1783 by Louis-Sebastien Lenormand, a Frenchman.
