29 July 2010 - I learned that life-expectancy in the tiny principality of
Andorra, tucked away in the Pyrenees mountains between Spain and France, is the longest in the world with 83,5 years. It must be all that fresh mountain air, because Andorra is located at 1996m. It is also a sporty places: skiing in winter, and hiking and cyclng in the summer. The place is a shoppers' heaven, because with more than 2,000 shops there is one shop for every 40 inhabitants. Food is fantastic too: river trout, blackberries from the forest and roasted pork. Maybe most important is the fact that Andorra has not been at war for more than 700 years! In short, this place sounds like paradise and one wonders why we do not hear more about it? I checked Lonely Planet and there is a warning, because greed and uncontrolled development risk having a negative impact on the place. So better hurry to Andorra y'all!
