Turn Left at Andorra
For years Max has been talking about Andorra, a pea size principality in the Pyrenees. While setting up my free week in Languedoc-Roussillon, France I am making arrangements to visit Andorra. This principality got its independence from Charlemagne who captured the area from Muslims in 803 A.D. In 1278 the country’s first constitutional agreements between the Bishop of Urgell (Spain) and Count of Foix (France) were put in place. Today Andorrians rule and they have joined the Council of Europe. I will not be there long but it will get put on the list of countries visited and one never heard of till mentioned a long while back over a dinner at some travel show.
