<div id="ygrps-yiv-302335178">Someone brought this location to my attention, although frustratingly I<br/>
cannot now find the relevant mail.  However, north of this Spanish village<br/>
near the Portuguese border is a small Spanish exclave in Portugal which is<br/>
explained thus: &quot;When the Spanish built a dam on the river Salas the <br/>
northern tip of the narrow strip was separated from<br/>
the rest of Portugal by the waters of the new lake. There is however a<br/>
bridge connecting the two sides of the Portuguese territory&quot;.  Portugal,<br/>
by the way, has the oldest unchanged borders in Europe.   Spain has also a<br/>
more substantial exclave, Llivia, within France east of Andorra.     Roger <br/>
