In june 2005 I visited Spain and Barcelona for the first time. Actually, Barcelona is in Catalonia and the locals do not hesitate to tell you. Besides visiting the amazing former olympic city, home of some of Gaudi's most monumental architecture, I took the time to make a detour to one of Europe's smallest countries, Andorra.
