Hello to everybody.

I am new on this group. I’m 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 I’m 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

It’s the website of the “Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya”, the
Catalonian’s 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” ( don’t forget the accent ).
Then click the first item ( “Cerdanya” ). Click the Ortophotomap
1:5000. This is the town’s 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
( it’s 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: it’s just
before the “pontarró d’en 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
