<div id="ygrps-yiv-565239629"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;Dear Marcel - bienvenido en este grupo de locos de fronteras (right?) <br/>
 </span></blockquote> It’s right, but my own language is the catalan, so it would <br/>
be “benvingut a aquest grup de bojos de fronteres”<br/>
Thank you!<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Marcel, una pregunta/just one question: have you been to the two <br/>
 </span></blockquote>tripoints with Andorra?<br/>
 No. As far I know, the west one is only accessible by trained <br/>
alpinists ( is the pic de Medacorba, at 2914m. )<br/>
The east one is La Portella Blanca d’Andorra, at 2520m. It’s more <br/>
accessible.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Llivia. Have you been there? How is it to live there, and what are <br/>
 </span></blockquote>people living from? Does the French neighborhood make much influence on <br/>
the daily life for this Spanish community?<br/>
Yes, of course I’ve been there. There’s no much difference with the <br/>
neighbouring villages, french or spanish. As you know, the Pyrenees <br/>
treaty cut Catalonia in two parts, but when we cross the frontier we <br/>
are as our home because we share the same catalan language and culture. <br/>
With the Schengen treaty, the border is less important now because <br/>
there aren’t douane or police controls, and soon the money will be the <br/>
same. I have just read a very interesting book of Peter <br/>
Sahlins “Boundaries:the making of France and Spain in the Pyrenees”, <br/>
about the Pyrenees treaty and its influence over the Cerdanya valley – <br/>
artificially divided between Spain and France - and specially about the <br/>
Llívia case. <br/>
