Hello to everybody.
I am new on this group. Im not an expert, but I am interested in
enclaves, anomalies in boundaries, etc.
I live 80 km. from Llívia, and 110 from Andorra, so near its two
triponts.
Actually Im enjoying my holidays and I have free time, so in the next
days I will post some questions and commentaries.
Today I reccomend a site:
www.icc.es
Its the website of the Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya, the
Catalonians government cartographic institute. There are great maps
and ortophotomaps.
Take a look to Llívia. Go to Catalunya full a full ( or Catalunya
sheet by sheet, in the English version ) Mark població and
in cerca per topònims, type llívia ( dont forget the accent ).
Then click the first item ( Cerdanya ). Click the Ortophotomap
1:5000. This is the towns photomap. On the bottom ( fulls
adjacents ), click the southwest arrow. You will see the sheet of
Càldegues. In this sheet you will be able to see the international road
( its the parallel road to the river ). With the zoom ( first click
dimensions grans ) you will be able to see the change of the pavement
of the Spanish-french border! ( on the left, near pont the Llívia ).
On the other side, the change of pavement is not so clear: its just
before the pontarró den Xidosa just before a car on the road. This
is the border. You can compare the photo with the map posted on the
message number 1000 by Brendan White. There is a map 1:50.000 in this
website, too.
I hope you will enjoy this site, and sorry if my English is not too
good.
Marcel Miquel
