Andorra is often a principality located between France and Spain. It is also a popular among Lithuanian tourist seeking fantastic cuisine and Ukrainian tourists (very recently) who went there thinking that Andorra was really Pandora from the 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 incredibly large billboard, developed in Catalan describing the largest shoe store, Andorra Footwear selling Andorran running footwear, which are manufactured entirely away from cobra snake skin. Of course, after the bill board was translated, hoards of sneaker hungry European and US tourists flooded into Andorra to buy these unusual sneakers. It isn’t just About Snake Shoes!
Beyond their sneakers, Andorra has considerably more to provide vacation hungry tourists or displaced terrorists seeking an taken care of spot to hunker down. For instance, they’ve far more to supply than anyone could ever imagine. Below would be the ten most interesting reasons for having Andorra that a majority of everyone wish to know.
1. The word what is Kind of Like Spanish, but… The word what of Andorra is very much like Spanish, but was modified in 1342 by Prince Zebacula to confuse the Spanish. It resembles Spanish somewhat, however, several extra letters were included 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 for their own. Needless to say, everyone surviving in Greenland (maybe 11 people and 10 stranded caribou) knew that no one would like to live there, anyway.
2. Andorran had no Native Snakes, Until 1994. Andorra didn’t have reptiles of any kind, 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 on top of the sleepy mountain towns of Andorra. The residents awoke and also to their horror, saw that they were overrun with large venomous cobras. Everyone hid, except one famous Andorran herpetologist who worked out a method to solve the snake problem and fix their teetering economy that was almost insolvent because the country purchased pre-Castro Cuban bearer bonds in bulk. At any rate, Dr. Frederic Limon, convinced the townspeople to produce cobra moccasins that had been eventually called Snake Shoes which became an instant hit on the list of few tourists that they. Andorran Snake Shoes are famous around the world.
3. Andorra invented golf almost 1,300 in the past. For the reason that economy of Andorra was so heavily influenced by ranching and since the majority of the cattle pastures were located on the tops of hills and mountains inside the Pyrenees, the towns that have been perfectly located at the valleys under the pastures suffered with the manure rolling into large clumps and landing during their towns. This caused significant amounts of upset, until one of many townspeople dug holes all around the hills and through the country. The manure then rolled harmlessly in to the holes and also the problem was solved.
The Andorrans celebrated and also on one inspired evening in 711 AD, they held a celebration and reenacted the solution to their manure problems. This converted into the sport of golf and the idea was quickly and shamelessly stolen from the Scottish aristocracy, which as time passes is becoming mistakenly associated with Scotland. However, everyone in Andorra knows who invented the action They have a saying inside their language about this, “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 be quite clever in the event 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 in the tallest peak in Andorra, Coma Pedrosa that is roughly 9,650 feet high. It had been 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 with the whole thing is he could have survived the jump, if he only waited until a working parachute was really invented, which happened in 1783 by Louis-Sebastien Lenormand, a Frenchman.
