Andorra is a principality located between France and Spain. It is also a favourite among Lithuanian tourist seeking great cuisine and Ukrainian tourists (very recently) who attended believing that Andorra was really Pandora from your Movie, Avatar. Ultimately the Lithuanians were happy, but 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 most important shoe store, Andorra Footwear selling Andorran footwear, which can be manufactured entirely beyond cobra snake skin. Of course, as soon as 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!

Outside their sneakers, Andorra has considerably more to make available vacation hungry tourists or displaced terrorists seeking an taken care of location to hunker down. For starters, they've got much more to provide than anyone could ever imagine. What follows include the ten most interesting reasons for Andorra that a lot of everyone wish to know.



1. Which is almost Like Spanish, but... Which of Andorra is extremely 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 included with totally confuse Spanish nobleman throughout their epic Scrabble tournaments, that happen to be a popular among both Andorrans along with the Spanish. This gave the advantage towards the Andorrans who'd bet heavily and won large tracts of land in Greenland, which Spain had conquered and claimed as their own. Needless to say, everyone surviving in Greenland (maybe 11 people and 10 stranded caribou) knew that no one desires to live there, anyway.

2. Andorran didn't have any Native Snakes, Until 1994. Andorra did not have any reptiles of any sort, only 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 to the sleepy mountain towns of Andorra. The residents awoke and to their horror, saw that they are overrun with large venomous cobras. Everyone hid, except one famous Andorran herpetologist who figured out a way to solve the snake problem and correct their teetering economy which was almost insolvent for the reason that country purchased pre-Castro Cuban bearer bonds in large quantities. At the very least, Dr. Frederic Limon, convinced the townspeople to produce cobra moccasins that had been eventually called Snake Shoes which became an instant hit one of the few tourists that they. Andorran Snake Footwear is famous all over the world.

3. Andorra invented golf almost 1,300 in years past. As the economy of Andorra was so heavily established by ranching also, since most of the cattle pastures were located on the tops of hills and mountains from the Pyrenees, the towns which were based in the valleys underneath the pastures suffered from the manure rolling into large clumps and landing in the heart of their towns. This caused a lot of upset, until one of many townspeople dug holes all around the hills and during the entire country. The manure then rolled harmlessly to the holes and the problem was solved.

The Andorrans celebrated and also on one inspired evening in 711 AD, they held an event and reenacted the solution to their manure problems. This changed into the sport of golf and the idea was quickly and shamelessly stolen with the Scottish aristocracy, which over time is now mistakenly associated with Scotland. However, everyone in Andorra knows who invented the game These people have a saying within their language about 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 actually 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 through the tallest peak in Andorra, Coma Pedrosa which 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 a coma, and so the name, for 237 days until his death. The irony in the entire thing is he or she have survived the jump, if he only waited until a practical parachute was invented, which took place 1783 by Louis-Sebastien Lenormand, a Frenchman.
